lyrics

Never thought that I'd grapple
As a snake, who lost it's rattle
Never thought venom would infect me
and instead let it resurrect me!


Shaking hands with a cloven hoof
Makings friends, but staying aloof
Dis-empowered, known in hindsight
Feeling the hunger of the limelight


Greasy grip like a silver spoon
Prodding headache like Jason's IVth [or was it third?] harpoon!
Slick it back with a comb and a tear
Be sure to let them know what's "really" there!

Swap one mask out for another,
Was it the way that killed your mother?
Will it slay like a harvest scythe?
Will it yield like the crucified Christ?
Oh No!

Drink in the parade in a warbled glare
Gorged on the thought of a carnal fair
The finest places at all the best tables,
Feather in my cap and call it all: "The Best Fables!"
(Should've gone with macaroni instead)

Choice clothes and knapsack of [fake] news
Whoever thought I'd be the one to misuse
All the time allotted for gentile calls
With snarls and a heavy, panting maw?

Swap one mask out for another
Was it the way that killed your mother?
Will it slay like a harvest scythe?
Will it yield like the Crucified Christ?
Oh No!

~ ~

Swap one mask out for another
Was it the way that killed your mother?
Will it slay like a harvest scythe?
Will it yield like the crucified Christ?
Oh No! [ad infinitum]

about

La Chancla Kansas City, Missouri

Out they came, from a pile of radioactive ooze, mutated through the ages to the tune of halcyon humming and the aural auras of intergalactic crickets, and rising now, instruments of cosmic tomfoolery in hand... La Chancla!
