The Salamander

the salamander with skin so soft
that its undercoat is poison
pulling me down
down deep in the well
down deep in the well
where nobody can save me
cuz nobody can tell
that i'm deep in the well
the lavender and the lilac
in the spring breezes bear blossoms
through the air
but i'm deep in the well
down deep in the well
where nobody can fathom
just how far i fell
down deep in the well
i have walked these lonely streets looking for you
i have wandered wondering what we should do
i have felt you fumblin' round me for the truth
but it's deep in the well
when the reckoner comes
nothing to be gained by
looking up for help
we're too deep in the well
too deep in the well
where nobody can find us
not even ourselves
we're too deep in the well
the salamander with skin so soft
that its undercoat is poison
pulling me down

doo doo doo
she grew up in maryville
taking her chances
and looking for a thrill
i guess maybe she was looking for some answers
i guess she's lookin' still
in maryville
he told her she looked so beautiful naked
she didn't know that that was just his line
they had a relationship in her imagination
til the day that she got left behind
in maryville
left behind in maryville
and her parents, they don't know what she needs now
and they're right back at each other again
sometimes it's too much for her
sometimes it's just pretend
in marville
doo doo doo
she moved out to the west coast of the nation
seattle lets her do as she will
got the disease that afflicts this generation
she said deep down she always knew
she knew we were ill
but she still left maryville
and her parents, they don't know what she needs now
they're right back at each other again
they say, "oh, come back home baby
come back home again
to maryville"
doo doo doo
where has the summer gone
it went and left her empty like the trees
where have her lovers gone
they've blown away with the breeze
doo doo doo
and her parents, they don't know what she needs now
they're right back at each other again
they say, "oh, come back home baby"
but she will never come home again
not to maryville
doo doo doo

in the beginning
was the waitress
took our order
then she walked away
she just left us
left us waiting
for the drinks to come
it took seven days
i'm just waiting
for the waitress's second coming
and i'm just praying
for the bottom of that bottle
to show itself to me
she said
she was blessed
that the her name
was known by the angels
and they had made her
into their vessel
they came down
and visited on her
but i'm just waiting
for the waitress's second coming
and i'm just praying
for the bottom of that bottle
to show itself to me
i just want to see her pour a little out
a little out for me
just a little more for me
it's a new day
it's a new world
it's a new testament
to the
to the lost
to the lonely
to the lately
all around me now
i'm just waiting
for the waitress's second coming
and i'm just praying
for the bottom of that bottle
to show itself to me
i just want to see her pour a little out
a little out for me
just a little more for me
i'm the thomas
of the twelve
spin that bottle
just a needle that's
in a haystack
down a well
giving me no direction to follow now
i'm just waiting
for the waitress's second coming
and i'm just praying
for the bottom of that bottle
to show itself to me
i just want to see her pour a little out
a little out for me
just a little more for me
