Somehow
And you clear an ugly moat
Somehow
You shear an ugly goat
And clear an ugly moat
Somehow
So it creeps up out of the drain
Hear the mass of rolling lattice that
Slithers softly
Across your shabby shoes
So it creeps up out of your brain
And fears the claws of laws and averages
Something's coming
In the afternoon
Caught it in the back
Whoa, Nelly!
Drown it in a sack
Whoa, Nelly!
Breathing through a crack
Whoa, Nelly, please
So it creeps up out of the drain
Hear the mass of rolling lattice that
Slithers softly
Into your padded room
So it creeps up out of your brain
And fears the claws of laws and averages
Something's coming
Stamped past due
Caught it in the back
Whoa, Nelly!
Drown it in a sack
Whoa, Nelly!
Breathing through a crack
Whoa, Nelly, please
We had it all
When santa came
And friends would call
Valentines
And crowded halls
We had it all
With angel cake
And Christian's coat
Daddy's name
And momma's soul
August comes
With another mess
In the failing light
Lay your head to rest
