Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm glowing bright obsidian
Axolotl amphibian
Un-elemental chemicals
Got me growing six black tentacles
A little nightmarish
A little maudlin
Good Golly, go give that kid some laudanum
Salvation's more than I can afford
Who needs the Devil when you got the Lord?
[Verse 2]
Oh, my soul, losing control
Who built this heart?
Oh my god
[Verse 3]
Now Sister Maggie is coming in fleet foot
Baby's got a belly full of black soot
I got the feeling I better just stay put
Ah, she'll have you better than any real man could
An accidental amphibian
I'm growing giddy as a Gideon
Another head for the chopping board
Who needs that Devil when you got the Lord?
[Verse 4]
Oh, my soul, losing control
Who built this heart?
Oh my god
Oh, my soul, losing control
Who built this heart?
Oh my god
[Verse 5]
My soul
