Scum Lyrics - No Joke! - Meat Puppets

In some forgettable rhyme 

We crawled across the border line 

We kissed the enemy till 

I thought we traveled out of time 

You couldn't have heard me speak 

There was, so it did seem, I say 

A fog so heavy that I could not tell 

If it was night or day 

Hand over all water 

You know that means business 

Scum 

Under the stone 

We find the scum 

Under the stars 

We find the scum 

I thought a beautiful thing 

A fire was lit within my mind 

On ruby hummingbird wings 

Went shivering up and down my spine 

The water that quit our thirst 

Was not from earthly vineyards mined 

And then we drunkenly sailed 

The gutter of our invisible shrines
