Granny Grunt - Royal Trux

The steel shutters rattled

Even the rose-colored razor wire shook

A jade-colored car emerged onto the street

While security kept a lookout

For the losers hanging around

Who couldn’t make it downtown

They wandered over here

For their final breakdown

Kathy put her legs down, she put the phone down

She said, «I wish it was hot and not so hard»

She had the power to predict and refuse

Her crippling fears she wore around like a crown

Just then a choke moved through her gut

The way an insect contracts when it gets smashed

Hanging out in the parking lot

Trying to get it up to break it down

With a coat and a haircut

The old lady sold speed

To the truck drivers passing by

Everyone called her Granny Grunt

You don’t want to know why

You can see it but you won’t believe it

You say you understand

But you just can’t fake it

Now you’re on your knees

Begging someone to lead you

But you’re just like me

Warlock in the gallery of a salt-mine

Watching the white-eyed pale foal die

Florida in the last phase, the hill where we broke down

Pizza and frozen apple pie

The apes blow blood into the air

With plenty of time to reason

He wanted to be king but he could only sing

That’s the end of a puppet and his friends

With a coat and a haircut

The old lady sold speed

To the truck drivers passing by

Everyone called her Granny Grunt

You don’t want to know why

You can see it but you won’t believe it

You say you understand

But you just can’t fake it

Now you’re on your knees

Begging someone to lead you

But you’re just like me

And you can’t make it easy, no
