"Fuck that, Stripes! We're in Albuquerque." "There's no fuckin' bedtime..." "I seen this kid murder a goddamn leper monk!" [Verse 1] Prudie rode on, chasin’ Scuzzy through the storm, I trailed behind, wings fuckin' heavy and worn, But I saw fire burnin’ through the trees that night, And Toby Bones chained up in lepers' blight. [Chorus] Ohhhhhh rattle-boy, run rattle-boy, run, The night is dark, but the dawn might come, Every chain can break, every wall can fall, That ladle will carry you through it all. [Verse 2] He cracked one’s ankle, knocked him fuckin' flat, Another tripped over a cookpot vat, Fuckin' soup went splashin’, leper monks went down, Like circus clowns fuckin' tumblin’ around. [Chorus] Ohhhhhh rattle-boy, run rattle-boy, run, The night is dark, but the dawn might come, Every chain can break, every wall can fall, That ladle will carry you through it all. [Bridge] But then came Bilious, silent and slow, Gingivitis grin in the fire’s glow, He reached for Toby, scabby hand raised high— And that’s when I... fuckin' Split the sky! [Verse 3] I clawed his face, ripped out his pus-filled cheek, He shrieked and stumbled, fuckin' staggered and weak, And Toby leaped, with a clatterin' sound, Jammed that ladle right in and fuckin' shoved it down. [Verse 4] Tin scraping teeth, that leper's jaw forced wide, The handle clanked as it disappeared inside, He gagged, he choked, Bilious dropped to his knees— And died as the ladle blocked his last wheeze. [Chorus] Ohhhhhh rattle-boy, fuckin' rattle-boy, goddamn! The night is dark, but you're the fuckin' man! Every chain can break, every wall fuckin' fall, That fuckin' ladle carries you through it all. [Outro] I sweep you up, my claws held tight, My brother of bones, you're safe tonight, With wings around you, I'm hootin' strong— By ladle and talon, we carry on. "Hell yeah, Bonesy! I'll fuckin' fly with you anywhere!"
