CRAWLER


“King Snake” is about accepting that you’re nothing, and that being a beautiful thing. It’s almost Buddhist, like, you are objectively nothing. Right? Nothing objectively exists. Don’t suddenly carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. It’s going to be alright. There’s also that feeling after you’ve had two beers where nothing matters, you know? It’s supposed to be celebratory, whether it’s because you like getting the beers in or you like the idea of being nothing."

— Joe Talbot, Consequence Track-By-Track
I'm the duke of nothing (*)
I'm the sultan of sans
The-the king of diddly
I'm the shell of a man
I'm the emperor of zip
The leader of nought-t-t-t-t-t
I'm the God of zilch
A vacuum of thought-t-t-t-t-t
Yeah

Here lies
Here lies

The jack of fuck all
The master of none
The champion of nada
A neglectable sum
I'm yesterday's news
Tomorrow’s chip paper
I'm in between jobs
And I will be later-ter-ter
Yeah

Here lies
Here lies

A drop in the ocean
A shadow in the night
A wheel with no motion
A dog with no bite
The deputy manager's assistant
Assistant, assistant, assistant, assistant
Assistant, assistant, assistant, assistant
Don't like, don't listen
Yeah

Here lies
Here lies
Here lies
Here lies
(*) L'attuale Carlo III, Re del Regno Unito di Gran Bretagna e Irlanda del Nord e degli altri reami del Commonwealth, a soli tre anni di età era già Duca di Cornovaglia, Duca di Rothesay, Conte di Carrick, Barone di Renfrew, Signore delle Isole e Principe e Gran Steward di Scozia, nonchè - of course - principe del Regno Unito... Ci ha messo solo 73 anni a diventare king of diddly, re di un fico secco...

Re Serpente

Sono il Duca d’un bel nulla
Sono il Sultano d’un tubo
Sono il Re d’un fico secco
Sono il guscio d’un uomo
L’imperatore d’una sega
Il comandante di nien-t-t-t-te
Sono il Dio de’ sticazzi
E ci ho il vuoto nella test-t-t-ta
O ièa

Qui giace
Qui giace

Un individuo del cazzo
Padrone di niente
Campione di nada
Una somma trascurabile
Sono il giornale di ieri
Carta straccia di domani
Sono in cerca di lavoro
E lo sarò anche dopo-opo-opo

Qui giace
Qui giace

Una goccia nell’oceano
Un’ombra nella notte
Una ruota immobile
Un cane che non morde
L’assistente del vice
Assistente, assistente, assistente, assistente
Assistente, assistente, assistente, assistente
Non mi piace, non ascolto
Ièa

Qui giace
Qui giace
Qui giace
Qui giace
