Dead Man Slough (Pacifastacus Leniusculus)

I left your lover in the slough

Your lover in the slough

He spilled his guts but none of it was true

I left your lover in the slough

All the letters he wrote you, were left in plain view

I recited them out loud as I was running him through

I left your lover in the slough

Crayfish will do as they wish

No need to stick around and watch

Crayfish will do as they wish with every inch of him

Out here past the muck and brine,

I wait beneath the power lines

And now its half past nine

He's never been this late before

Crayfish will do as they wish

Cattails beyond the pale hide the reason why he's late

I almost can't blame him,

I may have done the same

And would expect to pay when caught on someone else's claim

Crayfish will do as they wish with every inch of him
