Splendor in the Scuzz (LIVE in Hell)

[Verse 1] You dream of moonlit rivers, Silver quiet, clean and wide… But I’ve pissed in rushing gutters Where the rats float side by side. You think of roses blooming, Red and velvet, soft with dew… But I’ve seen blossoms in a condom That a junkie just blew through. Ha ha! [Chorus] Can you taste the fucking fetor in the fart-thick fumes? Feel the glory while you’re pissing creamy spume? Every mouthful that comes back up is a feast to me, Every shit-smeared wall’s a mural, Zeb, it’s fucking poetry. This is living, Stripes— with rancid bloat abuzz, So, Raise your head and see the splendor in the scuzz! [Verse 2] You think sex is silk and candles, Perfumed sheets and whispered names, But you’ve never fucked a lover On a rattling subway train. You think love’s a gentle meadow, With your hooves in morning grass, But I’ve dragged your stripes through dumpsters, Rode you onto broken glass. [Chorus] Can you taste the fucking fetor in the fart-thick fumes? Feel the glory while you’re pissing creamy spume? Every mouthful that comes back up is a feast to me, Every shit-smeared wall’s a mural, Zeb, it’s fucking poetry. This is living, Stripes— with rancid bloat abuzz, So, get on the floor and sniff the splendor in the scuzz!!! [Bridge] Your sky’s a polished blue— Mine’s smeared with smoke and jizz. Your dream is velvet soft— Mine’s a biting, foamy kiss! You want heaven clean and distant, I want the fucking chaos near and dear: A world of piss and puke and laughter, And it’s perfect, Zeb, it's perfect just right here!! [Final Chorus] Can you taste the fucking fetor in the fart-thick fumes? Feel the glory while you’re pissing creamy spume? Every mouthful that comes back up is a feast to me, Every shit-smeared wall’s a mural, Zeb, it’s fucking poetry. This is living, stripes— with rancid bloat abuzz, So, open fuckin' wide and drink the splendor in the scuzz!!! Slurp it down, spit it out, chew the maggots, lick the fuzz— From the mattress to the toilet, taste the splendor in the scuzz! Yip ya hahahaaa!!
