Acid
Red Harvest Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Join my picnic in the dark
To find fungus in the park
As I eat and grasp and grawl
I see some changes in my world
Suddenly, the grass begins the talk
And even the benches start to walk
I turn around and yell out of fear
I eat to scare the leaves away
Acid, acid
I seek for shelter in a woorden house
I am chased by a shit huge mouse
I run up to the attic
I am pale with panic
I parachute through a window
And in my flight I see an angel
She helps me as I fly down
But I crush my head when I hit the ground
Acid, acid




Acid, acid
Kills
