Part of Her Scuzz

[Verse 1] My lips are a lamprey and my hips are a shell, I slither with shrimp in the perfume of hell. I’ve suckled the jelly of drowned sailor eyes, I’ve painted my nails with the bile of red tides. [Verse 2] The Kraken’s my plaything, Leviathan’s chained— Yet still I am starving for denim, untamed. My spine drips with polyps, my tongue is a knife— But Scuzzy, oh Scuzzy, come ruin my life! [Chorus] Let me breathe in the smoke of her alleys, Let me choke on air thick with musk, Let me dry till my scales crack to powder, Let me thirst, let me blister, I must… Oh, let me crawl to the gutter and bloom in her lust— Part of her filth, part of her scuzz! [Verse 3] The oysters all gossip, the sea-snakes all hiss, They say “what’s a hag like you doing with this?” But let them keep snickering, I’ll split them in twain— For Scuzzy’s the tempest that boils my brain! [Bridge] I’ve got claws that could crack open any crown, Tentacles that pull a whole navy down… But what is a queen in a coral bouquet, When a hyena in tatters can make me obey? [Verse 4] Dagon can damn me, the Nereids can sneer, Let Triton’s own trident get shoved up his rear! For all of their splendor is sea-foam and rot— One laugh from my Scuzzy is worth the whole lot! [Chorus] Let me breathe in the smoke of her alleys, Let me choke on air thick with musk, Let me dry till my scales crack to powder, Let me thirst, let me blister, I must… Oh, let me crawl to the gutter and bloom in her lust— Part of her filth, part of her scuzz! [Outro] So let eels braid my hair, let the crabs kiss my clam, Let Poseidon himself choke on sewage and sand… For the sea’s not enough, and the gods turn to dust— Without Scuzzy the siren, Without all her scuzz! [Chorus] Let me breathe... in the smoke of her alleys, Let me choke... on air thick with musk, Let me dry... till my scales crack to powder, Let me thirst... let me blister... I must… Oh, let me crawl to the gutter and bloom in her lust— Part of her filth! Part... of her scuzzzz!!!!
