Lyrics

The bust of Cleopatra
Has so much force
So much tissue
It’ll make them sweat
Until their dust upon it

I’ll bet your body on it
I’ll bet your money on it
I’ll take the credit

Thirstland, cankers
Take away my papers
Thirstland, cankers
Take away my papers

Vestal virgins sure loved Elvis
His teeth they blind
Bleached like carcass
Hot prairie swamp
Pools in your harness
Measure your mouth
By your mortgage

Piss on it!

Report your patrols!
Those wild squirts
Their words spread
Like streptococcus in a nudist colony
Just watch the haggards off to tank
Just watch the haggards off to tank

I told you it wasn't your stuff
You took all my stuff
It wasn’t your stuff
You chewed all my stuff

I told you it wasn’t your stuff
It doesn’t matter, I don’t rat
I don’t rattle. I don’t rat!
I don’t rat! I don’t rat!
I don’t rat! I don’t rat!

Thirstland, cankers
Take away my papers
Thirstland, cankers
Take away my papers

Stab water
Stab water

Midnight Peg live on Treaty 6 Territory, in ᒥᐢᑿᒌᐚᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ / amiskwacîwâskahikan which is home and traditional place of gathering, connection, and movement for the nêhiyawak (Cree), Anishinaabe (Saulteaux), Niitsitapi (Blackfoot), Métis, Dene, and Nakota Sioux, as well as many other Indigenous peoples, including the Inuit and peoples from the Arctic regions. Indigenous histories, languages, and cultures continue to shape this land and the music community we are part of. We are grateful to make music here and recognize our responsibilities as guests in this territory.
