Electric Frogs

Lucy Tonic

A mansion reeking of mystery and sex

Unlike your parties, the brain is the hex

Who's got the most phantastic story

Stitch the real hunters with unreal quarries

By candlelight she writes in her mind

Death-obsessed, web-like bind

Study the corpse, exhume the dead

Fresher the better, revive the head

Harvest the organs, strike a chord

Of nerve tissue and spinal cords

Touch your jutting collar bone

Think there's no place like home

Electric frogs and pinwheel rats

What do you think about that

Run from the monster disfigured

It's trying to hug you like a gun hugs a trigger

Go worship all your seraphim

Yeah, it's a freak, but you made him

Where have you gone Prometheus

Were you our guest or just an atheist

Yeah, wonders come in clear handcuffs

You're only safe anonymous

Oh, it's dead and it's jiving in no man's hands

Oh, it's alive and it's lying in no man's land

Electric frogs and pinwheel rats

What do you think about that

Run from the monster disfigured

It's trying to hug you like a gun hugs a trigger

Go worship all your seraphim

Yeah, it's a freak, but you made him
