|
I heard he dabbled into |
|
witchcraft, I heard occult |
|
Oh, they're pretty much the same |
|
I guess he was adopted, or raised by wolves |
|
That's ridiculous to say |
|
I heard he boiled over, cursed the town |
|
Had the touch, so nothing grew |
|
I heard that too, it's true |
|
That's a lie |
|
I heard he spoke in tongues, gone crazy |
|
I heard he was a refugee |
|
I heard he was a monster, a scary ghost |
|
Oh you know there's no such thing |
|
I heard he boiled over, cursed the town |
|
Had the touch, so nothing grew |
|
I heard that too, it's true |
|
That's a lie |
|
We're left with some stories inert |
|
But this is the part that will hurt |
|
And nobody learned |
|
And now nothing grows here |
|
Always a shy, unremarkable man |
|
Then one day he'd had it, and threw up his hands |
|
He filled up his lungs, and he pulled at his hair |
|
And he curled up his lips and he bellowed |
|
"You'll never know how sorry you'll be" |

"You'll never know how sorry you'll be" |
|
The looks on their faces |
|
You'd swear they were dead |
|
It finally sunk in to their bones what he said |
|
Thes seeds will be bitter, the harvest will crumble |
|
Your fields will lay fallow for years |
|
And nothing will grow |
|
People will speak of him once in a while |
|
as legend would have it you'll hear it for miles |
|
he'll curse up a blue streak add lead to the air |
|
and stink like all matter of things |
|
And nothing will grow |
