the fugs - the five feet lyrics

(spoken word intro+ tuli kupferberg)

but you’d better get obsessed again
on the change+wheel’s rungs
or they’ll let the tumors grow
in the hummingbird’s lungs

(band starts)

verse 1:
harmonies, backing harmonies

you can always fight the foulest grief
with drinks and thrills
you can channelize your septum
with thousand+dollar bills
but you’d better get obsessed again
on the change+wheel’s rungs
or they’ll let the tumors grow
in the hummingbird’s lungs
(chorus)
you’ve got to have five feet(feet…)
to skitter down the road
one foot in the grave
(one foot in the glitter)
one foot in the gutter
(one foot in the glory)
one foot, near the grail..!

(instrumental break+ four measures)

(verse 2)
said to build a boat of death
upon that mane
well you’d better patch the leaky boat of life
call it “paradise plain”

(chorus)
you’ve got to have five feet(feet…)
to skitter down the road
one foot in the grave
(one foot in the glitter)
one foot in the gutter
(one foot in the glory)
one foot, near the grail..!
(guitar refrain+ four measures)

(chorus)
you’ve got to have five feet(feet…)
to skitter down the road
one foot in the grave
(one foot in the glitter)
one foot in the gutter
(one foot in the glory)
one foot, near the grail..!

(instrumental outro)
