Pissing In The Tiger's Mouth (RDDC)

There marches a company of wolves
The host emerges from the pines
Heralded by scarlet howls
Whispering up my spine
My father came down south
All because he heard you were a-pissing
Pissing in the tiger's mouth

Listen to the foxes shrieking
They're marauding up the street
I can hear the creaking of cradles
They can smell fresh meat
My father came down south
All because he heard you were a-pissing
Pissing in the tiger's mouth

There's a crocodile in the marital bed
I can see jagged tears down the side of yon head
You need to change the sheets, dear, they've all run red
And then I heard a voice from the other room, and this is what it said
My father came down south
All because he heard you were a-pissing
Pissing in the tiger's mouth

With their voices soft as thunder
And their eyes as wild as lightning
Would ye piss on a man in a suit
Or high-vis jacket?

The tortured scarecrows are a-waking up
They're wishing to curtail your stay
The great wood is marching up the hill
The statues are coming to take you away
My father came down south
All because he heard you were a-pissing
Pissing in the tiger's mouth
