1. Possum Prophet (of the Glowing Wastes)

[Verse 1] Woke up in a ditch with a tail in my mouth Clocks all melt and the cows scream south Shaman in a rusted truck bed choir Preachin’ to the dead, settin’ swamp gas on fire [Chorus] FHONK the sky, NUKE the night! That possum’s eyes got second sight! Tail twitchin' like a Geiger beep He saw the end, now he don't sleep! [Verse 2] Toothless angel in a Hazmat dress Said “Don’t eat the corn, it's possessed” Preacher burned in an oil drum cross Still speakin’ Latin while his eyebrows rot [Breakdown - shouted over noise solo] “WE ARE THE CHILDREN OF THE RADIANT ROADKILL!" “YOUR GOD LEFT WHEN THE COYOTES WON THE WAR!” [Chorus] FHONK the sky, NUKE the night! The possum walks with plague and light! Tail twitchin', mouth full o’ teeth He whispers truths that burn your sheep! [Outro – slow, dirge-like] Nailed to a shopping cart… Crown of soda tabs… He sees the truth… In your trash.
