Lyrics - Devil Between My Toes
1. Old Battery
(R. Pollard)
Old Friend in your room
With your ticker
Feeling thicker
You get sicker, but
DieHard
DieHard
DieHard
DieHard
Old Friend in this World
With your crucifix
you think it's fixed
and yet you
DieHard
DieHard
DieHard
DieHard
To heal you we have love
To heal you we have love
To heal you we have love
I don't wanna
I don't wanna
I don't wanna
I don't wanna
To heal you we have love
To heal you we have love
To heal you we have love
I don't wanna
I don't wanna
I don't wanna
I don't wanna
2. Discussing Wallace Chambers
(R. Pollard)
Discussing Wallace Chambers
I hear you talking
Distoring Wallace Chambers
Obscene, not absurd
Convincing Broderick Lewis
Crawl before walking
Original no-neck savage
Fishing for birds.
You walk into the room
Without a broom
To sweep away time lost
at all cost
Wallace hears everything
Wallace hits everything
Wallace hunts everything
Wallace hurts everything
Wallace hates everything
3. Cyclops
(R. Pollard)
Tom the happy pretender
One eye on the mend
One eye on his watch
His parents told him
Don't worry, Tom, there's plenty o' jobs in the big
city but with one eye only
It gets so hard
No depth perception
Cyclops
No depth perception
Cyclops
No depth perception
Cyclops
No depth perception
4. Crux
(Phil Nicely - beatbox
Jim Pollard - guitar)

5. A Portrait Destroyed by Fire
(R. Pollard Mitchell)
pollards mumbling here
Rings of blue and
Rings of gold
So many stories to be told
It hurts be worse than it hurt you
You realize now thats not true..oohh
Amber, neon, wet concrete
A well-worn track a smothering heat
They curious pet in an open cage subjected
to his masters rage. oohh
A portait destroyed by fire
A portait destroyed by fire
A portait destroyed by fire
A portait destroyed by fire
A portait destroyed by fire
A portait destroyed by fire
A portait destroyed by fire
A portait destroyed by fire
A portait destroyed by fire

Come to me
Say you will say you won't

9. Hank's Little Fingers
(R. Pollard)
{chorus}
We're watchin Hank
We're watchin Hank's little fingers
We're watchin Hank
We're watchin Hank's little fingers
Touching like new skin
pulling in the fibers within
hammerbox and strum
Beating on the Indian Drum
Unless you got the answers
Don't patronize the mountain man, uh-oh-oh
Unless you got the answers
Don't patronize the mountain man, uh-oh-oh
{chorus}
swimming river flow
rifle, bullet, arrow, and bow,
poster, paint, and tile
lepos, chivine, car and reptile
unless you've got the answers
don't patronize the mountain men.

Let's Go
Blastin Off, We're Takin off to Jimmy's house
oh, everyday at 3
Off to blasted Jimmy's house
the carefree world of opportunity
{chorus}
Let's Go
Celebrate the awkward stage
at Jimmie's house the sounds
alright to me
Telescope in the treehouse
We'll show our faith in commaradrie
When vampires of the rocket were free
Signal sorties in porpoise language
long and lanquid then we'll
go to sleep
{chorus}
12. The Tumblers
(R. Pollard)
sleephouse - not a sound - the world outside large sky-
losing ground - no words inside
lost hope brings not the tired eyes
one mistake - two mistake
don't mistake your mistake for my mistake
house pet chasing birds across
the earth big ground fading now - scope, span, girth

14. Captain's Dead
(R. Pollard)
{chorus}
Captains Dead
The war machine has fled
and People have gone home
Remember what he said
and you won't feel alone
You won't remember at this time
tommorrow when all the sorrow
is gone
A pull of the lever and nothing's forever
We'll ride to the heart of the sun
{chorus}
