The wilderness is closing in beneath our fences, 'neath our skin The wilderness is closing in Its tentacles are reaching in It's sweeping like an ancient wind With horny moans it softly sings And pollinating mutant kin Its grasp around is tightening tonight And there were five of us this morn' I don't know if we'll last till dawn how could it ever go so wrong? It's been coming It's been coming for so long While the wilderness was coming on strong It's been coming It's been coming for so long And we all know we've been sitting on a time bomb But there's no time to go on About who's been right and who's been wrong Just collect your valuables And meet me on the highest prong The wilderness is closing in beneath our fences, 'neath our skin it's drilling underneath our feet it's growing faster as we speak And some of us inside our fort Are plagued with scabs and crouched by gout their backbones twirl with scoliosis Assuming wild and wretched poses tonight The wilderness is everywhere We're wrinkled and we lose out hair It's already inside, I fear It's been coming It's been coming for so long While the wilderness was coming on strong It's been coming It's been coming for so long And we all know we've been sitting on a time bomb But there's no time to go on About who's been right and who's been wrong Just collect your valuables And meet me on the highest prong
