lyrics

Foul-mouthed, little foreigner.
Could have had some more of her.
Might have had too much of her.
Ended up not touching her.
Alright...

Tidal wave, wrapped in plastic
Stinging jellies, shivering spastic.
Dreamt I kissed her mouth and tasted
crooked teeth, all cherry-basted.
Alright...

And as we wound around the reef,
I was shaking like a leaf.
I think I saw what lies beneath...

Foul-mouthed, little foreigner.
The specter of a racing heart.
The spirit moved by poison dart.
And starting down a blood-stained street,
red splotches on concrete.

I was shaking like a leaf,
was so dramatically inclined.
Beneath the fan-shaped neon sign.
A lionfish with flashing spine.
Alright...

Cherry-basted, crooked teeth.
So much of this beyond belief.
I think I saw what hides behind...

Beneath the fan-shaped neon sign.
A lionfish with flashing spine.
I think I saw what hides behind.
Alright...
