Specimen Days

Oh one night of mercy

Give me one night of merciful

Shocks to the skull

Watching these specimens grow



Small miracles stuffed

In old powder kegs

Can't mix boot leather

With common-sense rags

Watching these specimens grow



I may know nothing

But it never says no

Won't answer in good turn

Earth rumbling below

Got hope in the backseat

And truth on the roof

Look out below

This rumbling needs somewhere to go



All cut up and painless

Brake lights blown out

On the back of your skull

Watching these specimens grow



O misery's daughter

Please know when to quit

Not a hose for the fire

There's a snake in the pit

Watching these specimens grow



I may know nothing

But it never says no

Won't answer in good turn

Earth rumbling below

Got hope in the backseat

And truth on the roof

Look out below

This rumbling needs somewhere to go



One night of mercy

Give me one night so merciful

One night of mercy
