The Soup
Hail Mary Mallon Lyrics

I throw dice and darts, you dot your eyes with hearts
I take risks and go for the bullseye, while you play it safe and follow the conventional path

I hold a fork and knife under the guise of art
I use my creativity and artistic expression to disguise the fact that I am just eating a meal

And chew the fat in Pig English, tapped and transmitted
We gossip and chat in a casual, unrefined manner

Motherfuckers flock like Chads to a whippet
People come running and eager to join in, like a pack of dogs chasing a popular breed

Daddy bad credit spill ketchup on the console
A father with poor financial status accidentally spills condiments on his car's dashboard

Pair of glowing eyes staring daggers from the foxhole
Intense, aggressive eyes peering out from a hiding spot like a foxhole in battle

(God Flow) Aes stay gold like Ponyo
Aes exudes confidence and success in his rap style and persona, similar to the character Ponyo's golden spirit in the movie of the same name

Hard headed, war-vetted, four-legged mongrel
Tough-minded and experienced in battle, like a fierce dog bred for combat

Speak slow order Jim Beam shoots
Ordering a round of whiskey shots and taking time to savor the moment

And split hairs over if it is a Jim Reed tune
Debating and analyzing the intricacies of a particular song or artist

On the big screen, pig skins, go team go
Watching a football game with excitement and passion

In the corner there's a cop with his whole wheat toast
A police officer taking a break and enjoying a healthy breakfast

Foreman of the flock In the last booth left
The leader or manager in charge of a group of people, sitting in a secluded location away from others

That the rest of us avoided cause the bathroom stench
Others avoided that booth because of the unpleasant smell emanating from the nearby restroom

On the bench there's some papers with the local fare
Sitting on the bench is a stack of papers with information about local events and activities

There's a chicken that I dated but I won't go there
I have a past romantic history with someone, but I do not want to discuss it

We face down in the soup
We are overwhelmed by our problems and feeling defeated

Bent like a bow or a 'bow' or a U
We are doubled over and contorted, like a bow or the letter U

Bad guest tramps through the house in his shoes
An unwelcome visitor entering the home without removing their footwear

You a bad, bad man or a clown with balloons
You may either be an intimidating, dangerous person, or simply someone who entertains with balloon animals

Loud as a crowd getting down at the stoop
As loud and boisterous as a group of people partying on their front steps

Throw your oars in the air or get out the canoe
Either fully commit and participate, or leave and don't waste anyone's time

Winter in the shit, pinner in his lip
Going through a difficult and unpleasant time, while also smoking a small joint

W-w-winner, winner TV dinner kids, git 'er did
Celebrating small victories and accomplishing mundane tasks, like cooking and eating a TV dinner

Treasure map full of pushpins, leather on his hoof since
A map indicating special spots or moments in life, with a person always wearing their signature leather shoes

Seven-six, never with a second set of footprints
Always traveling and experiencing life, but never leaving a lasting impact or legacy

Lone deathworm, spinning in a Deicide time lapse
Feeling isolated and stuck in a situation that seems to be endlessly repeating over time, much like a time-lapse video

Freedom fighter, feed a biters "Why?" back dry
A person standing up for their beliefs and values, and responding to criticism or cynicism in a calm and assured manner

Real Earth hides in the syntax
The reality of the situation is hidden in the complexity of the language and wording used to describe it

Even if you don't take kindly to riff-raff (We do)
Even if you are not accepting of people who are perceived as lesser or lower status, we as a group are

Boneheads illustrate a vessel to believe through
Simple-minded individuals can still inspire others to believe and follow them

Nestled by the free green pea soup special
Comfortably resting and indulging in a cheap, complimentary pea soup dish

One for the mutts that walk three feet in front of their gut
One for the confident and in-charge individuals who lead with their head held high and their gut leading the way

Sipping mush out of cups
Drinking something unappetizing and unenjoyable out of makeshift cups

And still drag drills to the dig site, no way
Continuing to work hard and put in effort despite difficult circumstances or obstacles

No gray hairs, only silver pinstripes
Not showing signs of aging, but instead having a refined and distinguished look

Pills in the palms of a million dendrites
Taking medication to cope with mental health issues or physical pain

Just about sick of this buildings insides
Fed up and frustrated with the lack of variety and stimulation within a particular location

Stoned to the bone, getting thrown through the roof
Extremely high and experiencing intense physical sensations or feelings

With a buzz like your wife, second strike on the Feud
Feeling a strong, euphoric sensation similar to an orgasm or winning a game show

Knock knock, Mallon got a crown to remove
Challenging someone in charge or in a position of power to step down or be removed

Walk in with the broke, walk out with the food
Entering a location or establishment without money, but leaving with something like food or other resources

Wild talk from the hallway steps
Loud and raucous conversation or argument coming from the hallway

Through the sheetrock walls and the crawlspace vents
Sound traveling through the walls and small openings in the building's structure

And his ears lopped off and a dog leg left
Having suffered physical damage or injury, such as losing a limb or part of the body

And the blood in his beard on the salt-stained ends
Signs of injury, with dried blood on the facial hair and clothing

Sugar on top of his sharply worded
Adding a sweet, saccharine touch to an otherwise pointed and critical comment or statement

Ribbing with a gryphon in his car seat, swerving
Joking and teasing while driving unpredictably and dangerously, like a mythical creature

Shotgun and the marquis merging
Different words or concepts coming together or overlapping, like two car lanes merging

And his hand on the horn and a sorry sermon (My bad)
Apologizing for a mistake or accident, while also honking the car horn impatiently

One eye closed like I'm Sandy Duncan
Closing one eye like the actress Sandy Duncan, possibly to convey a sarcastic or humorous expression

The other on the prize and a Stanley tough wrench
Focused intently on achieving a particular goal or task, while also being prepared for any challenge

Paralyzed from the pant crease up
Feeling anxious or stuck in one's own head or actions

When he shook hands with a man in his family truck bed
A significant or life-changing moment, such as meeting a new ally or partner in one's private vehicle

Can't be fun, get spoiled and streaked with
Something unpleasant or unfortunate occurring despite initial expectations or assumptions

Malice when the Mallons get the royal treatment
Jealousy and resentment when someone else receives special or preferential treatment

Oils and free shit and rare collections
Valuable items or resources being given away or distributed for free

Of falcons and helmets and bears with weapons
Unusual and exotic items or animals being collected or displayed

Sleep on the couch with a mouth full of chew
Resting uncomfortably and in an unhygienic state

Wake up spellbound, hellhounds on the loose
Waking up to chaos or trouble, feeling unable to escape or control the situation

Drinking water from the spout of the fountain of youth
Feeling refreshed and invigorated, as if drinking from a magical fountain of youth

Then we foam at the mouth or we howl at the moon
Experiencing strong emotions or urges, like a rabid animal or werewolf

Rock the spot
To excite or energize a place or audience, particularly through music or performance
