lyrics

Don’t follow me home
Had quite enough of you here
Don’t stick to my clothes
I’d rather just smell the fear
You know I made it past the millrace
And thought I was in the clear
Oh you perverted old ghost
Stop chewing my ear

Oh yeah
The specter in the woods behind my house has no concept of boundaries
Does a lot of grabbing at the milkmaids who rebuke him soundly
Ever since last summer, Guess’s dam has been off limits thanks to his predations
But I guess we’ll keep on living

Evil draws close all around
Both here and there
And you can spit on the ground
Tuck posies in your hair
You can spin in circles
Make the old signs with your hands
You can take precautions
But honey try to understand

Oh that
The specter in the woods behind my house has no concept of boundaries
But the worst wrongdoings are all forged in ordinary foundries
Like the last dinosaur, whose longstanding fate the open sky refuses,
This sorry species has no excuses

Oh yeah
The specter in the woods behind my house, him and his werewolf friend,
Smoke dope and heckle passers-by and probably will until the end
We mend the evil in our hearts, down to the chaff the harvest wends,
And we’ve got to pick it right back up again
