The Peculiar Pretzelmen - Dirty Susan

This whispering worries me the sneaking is terribly
disconcerting you're flirting with fire exerting
your vile vindictive though predictable syllables
drilling your illness corrupt and villainous
with an evil intent an unscrupulous willingness
to congragate clouds of suspicion and doubt

scattering stones when the first shots rang out
nowhere to be found when the first shots rang out.

look what you've learned oh the prizes you've earned
the angels are falling with wings bent and burned
you laughed in the shadows amused by this turn

oblivious to the oncoming darkness and worms.
slow creeping certainty of darkness and worms.

Back in the alleys the rats have all rallied
counting the bones there's no peace in the valley
only the devils have an accurate tally
but they'll never admit to the score just madly

cackle at our unfortunate ways
just madly cackle through our misfortune and fray

Susan oh Susan, your clothes are all ruined,
sullied and soiled from the things you been doing
they'll find you down where the poison is pooling
the rumor is she drowned but they're really not fooling
anybody anyway we're all familiar with her ways
she simply outstayed her welcome billowing volumes
of thick black smoke enough to make old scratch choke
she's gone but not forgotten the crimes so true and rotten

immortalized by hateful lies cruelly claiming your prize
only fangs remain to claim some fame
in the shape of wounds we can all recognize

Look what you learned, the prizes you've earned.
the angels are falling with wings bent and burned
and you laughed in the shadows amused by this turn
oblivious to the oncoming darkness and worms
the slow creeping certainty of darkness and worms.
