Blitzen Trapper - Furr lyrics

rate me

<br>Yeah, when I was only 17, <br>I could hear the angels whispering <br>So I droned into the words and <br>wondered aimlessly about till <br>I heard my mother shouting through the fog <br>It turned out to be the howling of a dog <br>or a wolf to be exact. <br>The sound sent shivers down my back <br>but I was drawn into the pack. <br>And before long, they allowed me <br>to join in and sing this song. <br>So from the cliffs and highest hill, yeah <br>we would gladly get our fill, <br>howling endlessly and shrilly at the dawn. <br>And I lost the taste for judging right from wrong. <br>For my flesh had turned to fur, yeah <br>And my bouts, they surely were, turned to <br>instinct and obedience to God. <br> <br>You can wear your fur <br>like the river on fire. <br>But you better be sure <br>if your makin' got a liar. <br>I'm a rattlesnake, babe, <br>I'm like fuel on fire. <br>So if you're gonna' get made, <br>don't be afraid of what you've learned. <br> <br>On the day that I turned 23, <br>I was curled up underneath a dogwood tree. <br>When suddenly a girl <br>with skin the color of a pearl, <br>wondered aimlessly, <br>but she didn't seem to see. <br>She was listnin' for the angel just like me. <br>So I stood and looked about. <br>I brushed the leaves off of my snout. <br>And then I heard my mother shouting through the trees. <br>You should have seen that girl go shaky at the knees. <br>So I took her by the arm <br>we settled down upon a farm. <br>And raised out children up as <br>jubilee as you pleased. <br> <br>And now my fur has turned to skin. <br>And I've been quickly ushered in <br>to a world that I confess I do not know. <br>But I still dream of running careless through the snow. <br>An' through the howlin' winds that blow, <br>across the ancient distant flow, <br>it fill our bodies up like water till we know. <br> <br>You can wear your fur <br>like the river on fire. <br>But you better be sure <br>if your makin' got a liar. <br>I'm a rattlesnake, babe, <br>I'm like fuel on fire. <br>So if you're gonna' get made, <br>don't be afraid of what you've learned.<br><!-- stopprint -->
