Throwing Muses

Slippershell Lyrics

You soft soap the soft shelled

The porous morons like me

And you're not sorry



Piece of cake to shake off principles

Hard won scruples

And pretty virtue



Crushed into the bottom

Of mud yellow sand like slippershell

Chrome

Like phosphorescent teeth

In mud yellow skin

You're a slippershell

And you can go to hell



Hard water down your throat

Down your back

Hard to say it's hard luck

When you're so happy



Hard to say it's hard luck

When you had it coming



You're a slippershell

And you can go to hell

Maybe see me there



Can't you see it's a white out

Made of chrome?

Can't you see the white out?

It's why i piss and moan

It's why i can't go home



Wallet full of fat

Belly full of milk

You're touchingly deeply fulfilled

You're very old

You're very new

You're touchingly deeply confused



Can't you see the white out?



No

I guess you don't
