Lyrics The Residents

The Residents

Walter Westinghouse

Walter Westinghouse went to town

He found a friend today

His friend was peeling ceiling wax as

He heard Walter say

Love me tender, love me sweet

Love me like I love my feet

Sit me down with Ezra Pound

But don't forget to eat

Or cause a country boy to cook

A carrot or a cake

But don't forget the feelings

Of a friend are hard to fake

He lives a life of April leaves

Respondent to the thought that

Often things you caught or bought

Were not the ones you sought

Now his December is a sender

Singing songs he knows

But all the words are cheese and please

And boy, I hope it snows

He buys the bacon and the achin'

In his heart is due

To overcoats and Quaker Oats

And if his wife should sue

Wanda, Wanda where you went and

Tell me what'd you take?

I took the tongue of Philip Jung

And left it in the lake

But my dear I think I fear

That you had lost your way

'Cause scrambled eggs, 'cause scrambled eggs

Were all he'd let me bake

He said, "Your trust is like a crust

Too brittle and too thin"

I said, ?You're full of nigger nuts

And look like Rin Tin Tin?

Is common ground not ever found

But flees from dad to son

Or is it just believing that the

Evening steals the sun?

I said, ?Your snoot is full of poot

And should be in a shoe?

And then I said your stupid bed

Is better off than you

Eat exuding oinks upon

And bleed decrepit broken bones

At caustic spells of hell

Huh, what's that, dear? Huh?

Eat exuding oinks upon

And bleed decrepit broken bones

At caustic spells of hell

Eat exuding oinks upon

And bleed decrepit broken bones

At caustic spells of hell

Yes, eat exuding oinks upon

And bleed decrepit broken bones

At caustic spells of hell

Eat exuding oinks upon

And bleed decrepit broken bones

At caustic spells of hell

Eat exuding oinks upon

And bleed decrepit broken bones

At caustic spells of hell

Eat exuding oinks upon

And bleed decrepit broken bones

At caustic spells of hell

Eat exuding oinks upon

And bleed decrepit broken bones

At caustic spells of hell

Eat exuding oinks upon

And bleed decrepit broken bones

At caustic spells of hell

Eat exuding oinks upon

And bleed decrepit broken bones

At caustic spells of hell

Eat exuding oinks upon

And bleed decrepit broken bones

At caustic spells of hell

Eat exuding oinks upon

And bleed decrepit broken bones

At caustic spells of hell

Eat exuding oinks upon

And bleed decrepit broken bones

At caustic spells of hell

And he sees the threads of worn out treads

And calls his color true and calls his color true

And calls his color true and calls his color true

And calls his color true and calls his color true

And calls his color true and calls his color true
