Deadly Gentlemen - The Splendor of the Bender lyrics

Oh, I've got liquor corroding my throatpipe I surrender to the bender I'm floating up mote-like Reveling in the pleasure of the poisoned brain That time-tested ratio of joys and pain That mash made in heaven and torn from the stover Opened a trove of emotion unknown to the sober I did not know nor care where I headed I shall have fun and live to regret it Traveling at a totter in a typical drinkcraze I happily trod the more and more difficult brinkways So wasted even the taste did seem savory God, you're twisted but oh You favor me I danced all night with a demented intensity Then down down to the floor I descended insensibly My liver so laden and swollen so portly That no two legs in the world could support me That bender turned dire and vile Up from within me came spiring bile And spasm after spasm of the abdomen jaggedly Staggered me with daggerlike jabs of agony My forehead to the floorboard I mumbled toungueless To the wonderful underworld of footfilth and fungus That abounded around me in a slanted fantasia Till even my groaning gave way to aphasia And the swirling of the turpitude above me Faded away I opened up an eyelid...lovely! I'd made it to day My turgid head tender from that bender's battery So fragile even a thought too shocking could shatter me The telltale stainwork outlasted the ba*tardies My pristine shirt now an abstract masterpiece
