Citric Acid Lyrics by Chris Knox

Croaker

1991

[Spoken word intro by John Ward Knox]
[?]
[Verse 1]
There's something unusual that's oozing from your side
I wonder should I suck it just to see
But it might be toxic, you never know these days
Your body isn't what it used to be
[Chorus]
You are a mystery to me, can't you see
You are opaque and I am blind
You are a mystery to me, can't you see
When I awake what will I find?
[Verse 2]
My mouth is full of you, a taste familiar and complete
And not I laugh at my own fear
You trickle down my chin, and drip onto my naked arm
It's really good to have you near
[Chorus]
You are a mystery to me, can't you see
You are opaque and I am blind
You are a mystery to me, can't you see
When I awake what will I find?
[Bridge]
I see through you, you see through me
Isn't it cozy, simple and free?
And I'll be you, and you be me
It is so easy, just follow me
[Verse 3]
You're in me, you're changing, your metamorphesis
Revealing your true character to me
Expulsion and terror, I cannot harbor you
When you are not what you appear to be
[Bridge]
I see through you, you see through me
Isn't it cozy, simple and free?
And I'll be you, and you be me
It is so easy, just follow me
[Chorus]
You are a mystery to me, can't you see
You are opaque and I am blind
You are a mystery to me, can't you see
When I awake what will I find?
You are a mystery to me, now can't you see
You are opaque and I am blind
You are a mystery to me, can't you see
When I awake what will I find?
[Verse 4]
You've stiffened, grown colder, your flesh
Has lost it's gleam
You're fading as you substance slips away
