Cretin

Dirt Eater

Cretin


Everyday you'll find her out there 
Crouched down on her knees 
Rain or shine she spends some time 
Yet her yard is full of weeds 
One day while watching from my window 
And much to my surprise 
I found out her dirty secret 
She tried so hard to hide 

Normal by all appearances 
No one would suspect 
The nice old woman from next door 
Is a filthy wretch 
She fingers through the soil 
And she picks the pebbles out 
Then scoops up a spoonful 
And pops it in her mouth 

Consuming clumps of earth 
She gobbles clots of dirt 
The grit and grime she eats 
Gets caught between her teeth 

[Guitar solo: Martinez] 

Scarfing scum and mulch and muck 
A frantic feasting binge 
She stuffs her withered cheeks so full 
Mud dribbles down her chin 
She shovels gravel in her face 
And swallows every bit 
I'll bet you that it hurts like hell 
When she takes a shit 

Consuming clumps of earth 
She gobbles clots of dirt 
The grit and grime she eats 
Gets caught between her teeth
