furr
Yeah, when I was only 17 I could hear the angels whispering So I droned into the words and wondered aimlessly about Until I heard my mother shouting through the fog It turned out to be the howling of a dog Or a wolf to be exact The sound sent shivers down my back But I was drawn into the pack and before long  They allowed me to join in and sing their song So from the cliffs and highest hill Yeah, we would gladly get our fill Howling endlessly and shrilly at the dawn And I lost the taste for judging right from wrong For my flesh had turned to fur, yeah And my thoughts, they surely were  Turned to instinct and obedience to God  You can wear your fur Like the river on fire But you better be sure If your makin' God a liar I'm a rattlesnake, babe I'm like fuel on a fire So if you're gonna' get made Don't be afraid of what you've learned  On the day that I turned 23 I was curled up underneath a dogwood tree When suddenly a girl, her skin the color of a pearl She wandered aimlessly but she couldn't seem to see She was listenin' for the angels just like me So I stood and looked about I brushed the leaves off of my snout And then I heard my mother shouting through the trees You should have seen that girl go shaky at the knees So I took her by the arm We settled down upon a farm And raised our children up as gently as you please  And now my fur has turned to skin And I've been quickly ushered in To a world that I confess I do not know But I still dream of running careless through the snow And through the howlin' winds that blow Across the ancient distant flow And fill our bodies up like water till we know  But you can wear your fur Like the river on fire But you better be sure If your makin' God a liar I'm a rattlesnake, babe I'm like fuel on a fire So if you're gonna' get made Don't be afraid of what you've learned
