Polio by The Adverbs
from The Adverbs Hosted by The Adverbs
A meditation on what it's like to be (nearly) completely eradicated, and just what that does to your self-esteem. A kind of "Inglourious Basterds" of communicable diseases. John made the words and the bass sounds; Joe made all the rest. Sympathy for the devil indeed. Polio Dropping cubes in my bourbon And the fumes are curling higher Like a rat in a sinkhole better hope that you stay drier Hey, now I found the way Down into your core Down to the lowest floor Seraphim And cherubim Momma hold your tongue let me win let me win Ooh ooh ooh Polio Creepin under the covers Like a lover seeking respite Deep in darkening shadows And the situation's desperate Hey, now I found the way Down in to your core Down into the very heart of us Mark my words Tie your tongue heed my heart Pierce your lung Cherubim Ooh ooh ooh Nijinsky Buttinsky crawl on the floor Don't tase me Won't phase me out of control Monica Lewinsky go close the door Don't tase me Won't phase me Ohhhhhh Polio More like sisters than brothers But the vaccine causes me to stay I'm not one or the other Just a splinter of your DNA Hey, now I found the way Down into your core on the way to your soul cherubim And the seraphim cats meow And the Mighty Quinn I'm an inky blot On a croque monsieur I'm a stinky spot On your faux cat fur I'm the Student Prince Ooohhhh Im Darby Crash
