Reading For Pain

from Zombus Walrie EP by Joseph Airport

/

lyrics

Unattainable reference work
Scribed by scions of centuries
Collecting odd genealogies
From a venerable and lofty Regensburg family
Whose patriarch was wedded three times
And each of his wives’ descendants would climb

The social ladders of Munich
Before 1848
The year the serfs went surfing

When emetics and leeches
Were all the rage
If only we could read the page
But the grimoires are lost
Consumed in the library fire of 1886
