Sickdom 02:22
The murderess undresses her late night victim He’s got a fine physique, that’s why she picked him She takes a swig of port then sits Upon his rigor mortised bits till dawn She’s the sickest lass in all of Sickdom —– Sickdom is a realm Where saintly souls are overwhelmed, Their grace erased and then replaced with bas depravity Its denizens are menacing, yet fill you full of calm By shoving opiated balm up in your cavity… —– The murderess confesses to the handsome priest But he doesn’t hear a word, as he’s deceased She tears his frock & socks off and Prepares to get her rocks off by smearing him In the extremely unctuous gunk with which she’s greased —– The murderess caresses he machete And curls up on a deep magenta settee The scent of fetid gent is strong and heady As she slips out of her pinkish patchwork teddy —– The murderess’s tresses grow gray and thin And then the ravages of time do her in She punts across the Styx to dwell But cannot get her kicks so well in Hades, Where cavorting with the dead is not a sin, rickety-tin, How she longs to live in Sickdom once again…

about

"I have a fun game that I have been playing for twenty years. Four or five beers into the evening, halfway through a conversation about some tongue-twisting lyric that Sycamore is really proud of, I call “time out” and challenge him to write a love song. Sycamore gets that faraway look in his eyes and says, “They’re all love songs, Freepy. Every one of them.” So I ask him, “Even the one about the necrophiliac murderess?” “Certainly.” “And the one about the cave-dwelling secret society of gunpowder miners?” “Especially that one.” So here’s a whole lot of love: twenty-four songs (give or take) that you will never escape. Buy this, listen to it, and then try to go back to your old life. You won’t."
