The winter's wet, and the summer's hot Take a match in Puerto Rico, why not Power and adrenaline flowing like amber From the recesses of the earth, put on your waders And twitch when the water runs high sometimes Twitch when the tide ebbs low See the sights, maybe go downtown Sometimes you get some heat, sometimes it follows you around When the blade hits the bone, everybody hears it sing Shower room full of people, no one hears a goddamned thing A twitch when the current runs wild sometimes Twitch when the contact howls All that racket out there in the arena I’m on a stretcher, here come the cleaners And the sky goes dark and there I am Climbing down the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram I drop from the top of my tall steel cage Drop to the concrete floor
