Mahalia
Shriekback

All the bloodbank boys they know her namenWith her heatwave eye and her fusebox brainnSee how the primal laws obtainnAnd how my limp leaves wait for rainnHow my limp leaves wait for rainnMahalia! Mahalia!nnLook at the human wreckage she entrainsnAnd it's all out of her hands she claimsnIt was the monster daddy who forged her chainsnBut none of that stuff quite explainsnNone of that stuff quite explainsnMahalia! Mahalia!nnAh the bile comes up as the drink goes downnBut it's all aboard for nutbar-townnHer name is sonorous and brownnIt's a deeply satisfying soundnA deeply satisfying soundnMahalia! Mahalia!nnMahalia! Mahalia!nGo steady in the darknGo steady in the darknGo steady in the darknGo steady in the darknnHer china heart's exciting toonBut nothing that you should pursuenShe's a chemical lynx in the human zoonHer steely moods will run you throughnSteely moods will run you throughnMahalia! Mahalia!n
