i ain't quite right
gonna bury me at night
i was never very bright but this i know

it's a mighty plan
way to stick it to the man
in this tragic little span you can't say no

see the whole dam' street
start to give in to the meat
watch 'em underneath the sheets
they're all aglow

we're action packed
try and catch us in the act
some distortion to the facts
(the strain don't show)

running with the mothmen mothmen mothmen
running with the mothmen (half-incinerated)
running with the mothmen mothmen mothmen
running with the mothmen (over stimulated)

come feel the fear with the liquid engineer
if he's all that he appears
why not say so?

quite precise that unnatural device
was a so much nicer way to go

do what the voices say
down where the light don't shine
mad as a bag of cats
down where the dogs wont stray

the truth we can reveal has a very wide appeal
like a human conger eel that don't let go

tried to colonise the place
with marzipan and mace
we will get right into your face
but it's all show

the gaderine swine are favourites
you gotta recognize the signs and just say no
i don't know how it's contaminated now
its an aspect of the tao for all i know

you gotta shed that dread
as the revelator said
you're a long time dead and he should know

do what the voices say
down where the light don't shine
mad as a bag of cats
down where the dogs wont stray

running with the mothmen mothmen mothmen
running with the mothmen (half-incinerated)
running with the mothmen mothmen mothmen
running with the mothmen (over stimulated)
