Bilingual
The rabbit killer left his home for the vlog
And said goodbye to his infertile spouse
Carried a rifle and a stump of wood
Carrying an eight sight telescope lens
ย
Silent tree over the flood valley of mud
And the grave keeper was out on his rounds
Yellow white shirt, dirty duffle coat hood
Keeping edges out with those same fallen stones
Jawbone and the air rifle
Who would think they would bring harm?
Jawbone and the air rifle
One is cursed and one is warm
ย
Air rifle lets out a misplaced shot
It smashed a chip off a valued tomb
Grave keeper turned in a wreath
Roots unexplained moving to the light of the moon
"I thought you were rabbit prey
Or a loose sex criminal", the rifle man he say
"You see, I get no kicks anymore
From a wife or children born
Been no war for forty years
And getting drunk fill me with guilt
So at the rates I prowl the hills
At eleven o'clock I'm tired to fuck
You see, I've been a little work"
ย
The grave keeper said, "You're out of luck
Here is a jawbone cake to mark
Carries a charm of a curse
Of the broken brothers' mental church
But the Scot trying to make you a mess of a man"
Jawbone and the air rifle
Who would think they would bring harm?
Jawbone and the air rifle
One is cursed and one is warm
ย
The rabbit hunter didn't eat for a week
And no way can he look at meat
No bottle has he anymore
It could be his mangled teeth
He sees jawbones on the streets
And road workers become jawbones
Advertisements become carnivores
He has visions of islands
Heavily covered in slime
Ah, the villagers dance round prefabs
And laugh through twisted mouths
"Don't eat, it's disallowed
Suck on marrow bones and energy from the mainland"
Jawbone and the air rifle
Who would think they would bring harm?
Jawbone and the air rifle
One is cursed and one is warm
