Gum Tree

Boy swallows rock Like hungry hawk The raven don’t want love Brown centipede Has come to feed The raven don’t need love Under the gum tree Under the gum tree Under the gum tree Bark peeled away By vandal play The raven don’t feel love Bug trades his dung For iron lung The raven don’t see love Under the gum tree Under the gum tree Under the gum tree The gum tree Under the gum tree Under the gum tree Under the gum tree The gum tree I am a priest and I philosophize I eat my waste and then I prophesize I’m the Catholic Church, I can absolve my sins Neglect my teeth and feel them decay within
