Specimen Days Lyrics - Walkabouts

Oh one night of mercy 

Give me one night of merciful 

Shocks to the skull 

Watching these specimens grow 

Small miracles stuffed 

In old powder kegs 

Can't mix boot leather 

With common-sense rags 

Watching these specimens grow 

I may know nothing 

But it never says no 

Won't answer in good turn 

Earth rumbling below 

Got hope in the backseat 

And truth on the roof 

Look out below 

This rumbling needs somewhere to go 

All cut up and painless 

Brake lights blown out 

On the back of your skull 

Watching these specimens grow 

O misery's daughter 

Please know when to quit 

Not a hose for the fire 

There's a snake in the pit 

Watching these specimens grow 

I may know nothing 

But it never says no 

Won't answer in good turn 

Earth rumbling below 

Got hope in the backseat 

And truth on the roof 

Look out below 

This rumbling needs somewhere to go 

One night of mercy 

Give me one night so merciful 

One night of mercy
