| I heard he dabbled into
|
| Witchcraft, I heard occult
|
| Oh, they’re pretty much the same
|
| I guess he was adopted, or raised by wolves
|
| That’s ridiculous to say
|
| I heard he boiled over, cursed the town
|
| Had the touch, so nothing grew
|
| I heard that too, it’s true
|
| That’s a lie
|
| I heard he spoke in tongues, gone crazy
|
| I heard he was a refugee
|
| I heard he was a monster, a scary ghost
|
| Oh you know there’s no such thing
|
| I heard he boiled over, cursed the town
|
| Had the touch, so nothing grew
|
| I heard that too, it’s true
|
| That’s a lie
|
| We’re left with some stories inert
|
| But this is the part that will hurt
|
| And nobody learned
|
| And now nothing grows here
|
| Always a shy, unremarkable man
|
| Then one day he’d had it, and threw up his hands
|
| He filled up his lungs, and he pulled at his hair
|
| And he curled up his lips and he bellowed
|
| «You'll never know how sorry you’ll be»

|
| The looks on their faces
|
| You’d swear they were dead
|
| It finally sunk in to their bones what he said
|
| Thes seeds will be bitter, the harvest will crumble
|
| Your fields will lay fallow for years
|
| And nothing will grow
|
| People will speak of him once in a while
|
| As legend would have it you’ll hear it for miles
|
| He’ll curse up a blue streak add lead to the air
|
| And stink like all matter of things
|
| And nothing will grow |
