Drowning Witch (Live At The Palladium - 10/31/81 - Show 1)

There's a ship arriving too late
To save a drowning witch
She was swimmin' along
Tryna keep a date
With a merchant marine who told her he was really rich

But it doesn't matter no more
She's on the ocean floor
And the water's all green down there
And it's not very clean down there

And water snakes and rusty wrecks
Is all that she can see
As the light goes dim
And she's tryin' to swim
Will she make it?
Boy, we sure hope so

Not even a witch oughta be caught
On the bottom of America's spew-infested waterways
Hey, hey
She could get radiation all over her
She could mutate insanely
That's right
She could mutate insanely

She could grow up to be 15 feet tall and scary looking
And it would be really ugly
Did you know that cars could crash all over the place?
As a result of people with Hawaiian shirts on
Looking up to see her face

Sardines in her eyebrows
Lobsters up and down her forehead
All of them horribly large from radiation
And smelling very bad
And dangerous

Maybe a submarine could save her
And take her home to the Navy
For some kind of ritual
Sacrifice
