lyrics

"East River Beast" [vonHummer]

Meaningless rags hang slack/on rusty poles/ by the concrete den/ strewn with the bones of spineless men/ hung to dry, in the hot air/ the empty wind/closeted skeletons rattle again/

It’s a monster to say the least/all fat/no lean upon which to feast/ rising up to have a piss/yawn, and go back to sleep/East River Beast…/East River Beast/

Mountains of plundered gold/in tribute, poured/down the massive throat/churned and turned to a liquid shit moat/Trembling gentlemen lay their coats/that ladies may cross and vote/

For its feeding to be increased/and all slender leashes released/ that the body exercise/worldwide, with reason decreased/East River Beast…East River Beast…East River Beast…East River Beast…/

East River Beast/how precious you were as a pup/Had we known then/the monstrosity you would become/we would have tied you up in a sack/and tossed you back/into the East River/East River Beast…

It’s a monster to say the least/all fat/no lean upon which to feast/ rising up to have a piss/yawn, and go back to sleep/East River Beast…/East River Beast/
