The Chicken

I could tell you there is no troll in the valley
No tricky ghoul behind the trees
Yeah, I could tell you there is no molester
In the alley
To take a lead pipe to your knee

But you won't believe it 'cause it ain't true
You won't believe it 'cause it ain't true
Rivers flowing through your precious body blue
Trickle crimson when the chicken claws you

I could assure you
You could not be swallowed by the ground
Since we've moved away from L.A
And I could tell you no child of Jesus will be found
Under rubble somewhere today

But you won't believe it 'cause it ain't true
You won't believe it 'cause it ain't true
Rivers flowing through your precious body blue
Trickle crimson when the chicken claws you

Yes, I could swear it
I will not betray another friend
I've found true love and I've lost an eye
And I might promise never to hurt you again
Cross my contrite heart, hope to die

But you won't believe it 'cause it ain't true
You won't believe it 'cause it ain't true
Rivers flowing through your precious body blue
Trickle crimson when the chicken claws you...
