about

From the 25th anniversary reimagining of Salt Peter

lyrics

Paraffin

Old man’s ass - Fifty heads wide
Old man's ass - Could stretch a battleship,
Side to side

Are we all wrapped up, wrapped up together
All wrapped up, fit for the kill
All stacked up, stacked up together
Stretch my neck to look up to him

To look up to him

There's a flower thief in my back yard again
I’ll grin my teeth to make him stay
Trap him in my flower bed and then
I’ll feed him with my paraffin.

Feed him with my paraffin
Fit for the kill

Old man got me in the eye again
Got his bony finger in
Turned me round and did it all again
Now I smell like paraffin


Are we all wrapped up, wrapped up together
All wrapped up, fit for the kill
All stacked up, stacked up together
Stretch my neck to look up to him

To look up to him

Fit for the kill
