To the shore from the moon and by her grace
Came that erudite stranger
That fucker

Time: 0:26
Though my body's my dog and my friend doesn't bite
Though he looks severe and erudite
A hundred degrees Fahrenheit he's as cool as an ermine

Time: 1:06
Find something unique to say
I could pass as erudite
But it's a young man's game

Time: 1:43
Sporadic rains, weather change, as cicadas sing their mournful song
The erudite fisherman stomps out a cigarette bud and says
A new era's dawning, while we drift toward the end of days

Time: 0:22
The circling ravens are hunting us down
Erudite playthings who lost what we found
But I don't care

Time: 1:24
Still thriving with every minute
I am erudite, I was born ready
I will take your sight for the confetti

Time: 0:20
Do it with me
Look to be so erudite
You want some senseless scene tonight
