Lyrics   status: confirmed

He's running on a tuff gnarl in his head
He's got a fatal erection home in bed
He's really smart and he's really fast
He's got a hard tit killer fuck in his past
Saints preserve us in hot young stuff
The saving grace is a sonic pig pile
Amazing grazing, strange and raging
Flies are flaring thru your brains
Spastic flailing literally raising my roof
An adrenal mental man-tool box
Explodes in music, creates utopia
You gnarl out my nerves
You weird and crush the cranking raunch
Flesh dirt forcefield lost and found
Let's burn your broken heart
Set our sights on sights not set
Let's scorch your wavo wig
Let's poke your eyes out

NOTES:

• Working titles: "Sea-Sik" & "Smart and Fast"
• This song appears on Mike Watt's "Ball-hog or Tugboat?" album, complete w/ Thurston, Lee, and Steve as guests. J Mascis drummed for the first half of the song, then bailed out for the jam, so Steve hopped in and finished it.

ALTERNATE VERSIONS:

• On "Hold That Tiger" - LIVE - 3:26

  Recorded live on 10/14/87 at the Cabaret Metro in Chicago, Illinois. There's a little bit of tuning trouble before the song.. Lee says "We promise a new tuning every night ladies & gentlemen!", Thurston suggests "it's a new version", and they launch into it.
