Waterworm

Waterworm

Lyrics by Michael Vance

Written August 9th, 1971

 

Enveloped in the belly of the storm

slick with sweat wrinkle-worn-sick

with sweat In his maggot-teaming brain

the menhorse hooved the plains

the womanfish cut the greasy inky.

Jupiter left the grave.

The siren swelled and stank of pain

by his side His mouth wide

the scaly gulped the air germ

The Waterworm cried

out in sleep and moved his slimy feet

 

Foaming in the streets, the dogs burn

Foaming in the streets, the ants churn

 

The spit machine slobbered along the pavement

The slug, slurped, slow against the cement

getting there, but unconcerned

 

The storm men gathered behind Venetian blinds

The bombs burped fat between their written lines

getting there, but unconcerned

 

The steel heads sputtered within cow palaces,

the words warbled wet, bloating their malices,

getting there, but unconcerned

 

Foaming in the streets, the dogs burn

Foaming in the streets, the ants churn

 

Enveloped in the belly of the storm

slick with sweat wrinkle-worn-sick

with sweat In his maggot-teaming brain

the menhorse hooved the plains

the womanfish cut the greasy inky.

Jupiter left the grave.

The siren swelled and stank of pain

by his side His mouth wide

the scaly gulped the air germ

The Waterworm cried

out in sleep and moved his slimy feet
