Cardiacs
Faster Than Snakes with a Ball and a Chain
You're about to bust all my gut to find out what you find in
Jumping over bushes howling like a dog-wolf at moon time
And did they hurt you 'til you got mean mad?
It's just like people so
We're marking up our land with 'x's
Look out, here comes cowboy 'o'

About a mile of all of us now
Dinosaurs and giants laying down
A-shivering, lonesome underground

Is that belt too tight for it to spurt?
Missing collar and I.D. to help he find it
'Hello doc, please mend my body then my seam'

On the ground a-shivering and scared
One of the ships hanging in mid-air
Like it was lost and nobody cared

Oh how he died blubbering and whimpering and lost
Shivering cold and was scared
Just like he was lost and nobody cared

Jump he over, bust all gut, all floodlit like I don't know being
One of the biggest doses of Holy Spirit I ever seen
And did they hurt him 'til he got mean mad?
It's just like people so
We're marking up our land with 'x's
Look out, here comes cowboy 'o'
Roll them Rawhide! Brand them in the eye!
Alien there. So what if it die
Y'ain't never gonna see it again!

Hang in air, oh far too slow
I am faster than snakes with a ball and a chain
Faster than snakes with a ball and a chain
Faster than snakes with a ball and a chain
Faster than snakes with a ball and a chain

Your rocket will go chase me for more than a mile 'cause
I am faster than snakes with a ball and chain

Light shine over all my body and about my anatomy but
Can't reach me 'cause I am faster than snakes with a ball and a chain
Like my collar and I.D?
It help me show me anatomy ceremonial
I am faster than snakes with a ball and a chain
Luring me with all the people who I love above all else
All floodlit I startle there all street flair

Oh to go in all directions at once if you have to
Kennel into which you crawl
You got them sweetheart
All sprightly, business-like?
Not lightly
If you move to have me buried under tons of tiny dogs
Adventures will await you
By bad lung he coughs away and
Leaves us his berry sperm wrappers left trod
What would you have me do?
Future past and future pretty are
Might more affected be
By one of the biggest doses of Holy spirit I ever seen
And did they hurt you 'til you got mean mad?
It's just like people so
We're marking up our land with 'x's
But look out, here comes cowboy 'o'

Roll them Rawhide! Brand 'em in the eye!
Alien there. So what if it dies
Y'ain't never gonna see it again!
Hang in air, oh far too slow
I am faster than snakes with a ball and a chain
Faster than snakes with a ball and a chain
Faster than snakes with a ball and a chain
Faster than snakes with a ball and a chain
Faster than snakes with a ball and a chain
