Furr Lyrics - Furr - Blitzen Trapper

Yeah, when I was only seventeen 

I could hear the angels whispering 

So I drove into the woods 

And wandered aimlessly about 

Until I heard my mother shouting through the fog 

It turned out to be the howling of a dog 

Or a wolf, to be exact 

The sound sent shivers down my back 

But I was drawn into the pack and before long 

They allowed me to join in and sing their song 

So from the cliffs and highest hills 

Yeah, we would gladly get our fill 

Howling endlessly and shrilly at the dawn 

And I lost the taste for judging right from wrong 

For my flesh had turned to fur 

Yeah, and my thoughts they surely were 

Turned to instinct and obedience to God

You can wear your fur 

Like a river on fire 

But you'd better be sure 

If you're making God a liar 

I'm a rattlesnake, babe, 

I'm like fuel on a fire 

So if you're gonna get made 

Don't be afraid of what you've learned 

On the day that I turned 23 

I was curled up underneath a dogwood tree 

When suddenly a girl 

Her skin the color of a pearl 

She wandered aimlessly, but she didn't seem to see 

She was listening for the angels just like me 

So I stood and looked about 

I brushed the leaves off of my snout 

And then I heard my mother shouting through the trees 

You should have seen that girl go shaky at the knees 

So I took her by the arm 

We settled down upon a farm 

And raised our children up as gently as you please 

Photos 

And now my fur has turned to skin 

And I've been quickly ushered in 

To a world that, I confess, I do not know 

But I still dream of running careless through the snow 

And through the howling winds that blow 

Across the ancient distant flow 

To fill our bodies up like water till we know 

You can wear your fur 

Like a river on fire 

But you'd better be sure 

If you're making God a liar 

I'm a rattlesnake, babe, 

I'm like fuel on a fire 

So if you're gonna get made 

Don't be afraid of what you've learned
