Balm of Gilead

Finish up mama, you vicious carnivore It's all been taken care of, the settlement, the score They've had it up to here with us, we're out of this canteen I always beg to differ when I don't know what they mean Blow out a stirring cacophony Been here for a quarter a century Soft becomes hard money Sent out for a colostomy And I need it Grasping for the balm of Gilead In harm's way In madness and in lust as agreed Blown out, like I need it Grasping for the balm of Gilead Growin' out of my head a pulsating cockscomb Its hue it makes the background pale, sends to its foster home Quiver in the cradle, bottom-fed to rest Keep it goin' to avert a cardiac arrest Blow out a stirring cacophony Been here for a quarter a century Soft becomes hard money Sent out for a colostomy And I need it Grasping for the balm of Gilead In harm's way In madness and in lust as agreed Blown out, like I need it Grasping for the balm of Gilead
