Sycamore Smith - The Honey Creeper lyrics

I cooked up some eels in eel broth And I threw in some honey from the Sycamore Bees Poured it all into a horse trough And I mixed in some sap from the Figmoron Tree I boiled it from morning till noon A thick cloud of smoke hung in the air A nearby horse breathed in the fumes And it turned him to glue, right then and there As it cooled, I admired my brew It was milky and murky and nicely charred I dropped in a ladle, snapped it in two-- My batch of hooch was a little too hard Honey Creeper, Honey Creeper Leaving a mess for the Reaper to clean Honey Creeper, Honey Creeper Oozing away from the grim murder scene 'Twas then that an angel appeared And told me, "Don't do it, don't think it" And then it turned into a demon who sneered And said "No, I'm just kidding--I want you to drink it" So I chipped with a hammer and chisel And I chopped it like mad with a pick But I couldn't even shoot off a chunk with my pistol So I put my face in the trough and licked I swallowed it down and it knocked me flat-- I mean I was just half an inch tall I was laid out like a welcome mat With my insides and outsides completely dissolved Now that my skeleton's collapsed I can go any place that I please I can squeeze through the narrowest of gaps I could slide under a puddle of grease Now I don't mean to make you feel queasy And I don't want to cause you to retch But I find that hunting you humans is easy-- You're all so clumsy, you're simple to catch Oh, if I find you asleep with your lover I think that it's just fair to warn you That I will be joining you under the covers To wrap you both up, so I can absorb you...
