Professor Bralley Explains Torque in Words and Sounds,
lesson one
Hand-and-Toe-Hold Trails
Yeah mamma she came from Texas
Born in a twenty-five gallon hat
My grandpappy taught her how to spit and cuss
But she n'er did learn much more than that
My pappy ran off with a pickup truck
Very same day what I was born
He didn't much care what happened to us
Whiskey on the breath and honkin' the horn
Yeah mamma kept me up in a chickenwire shack
'Til the day that I turned seventeen
Livin' off chickenfeed, wrestlin' coons
My beard's as long as I am mean.
Met a old blind man from Tennessee
Made a fatal mistake one day
Let me out of my cage, he was a kind old man
But I bit his neck off anyway
CHORUS with slide whistle
Well I crept round back the trailer
And I saw mamma givin' head
It turned out that hellbound Reverend Tanner
Was preachin' that love again
Well I jumped in through the window
Grabbed that goddamn Bible from 'im
I said "I'll show you what the good book says!"
AND I BEAT HIS FUCKIN' HEAD IN WITHIT!
(spoken)
Mamma knew what was coming she went into the kitched to get her
gun
I shoved her in the room full of deadly radon gas she died and
it was done
CHORUS
"That's for pappy, motherfuckers!" I thought as I tossed the rotting corpses in the bed of the pickup, headed back for the mountain where pappy was born, the sun goin' down and the sky all red.
Lo, A Reed Has Grown Piercing the Leg
Who is that man
With the fish in his pocket
And the suitcase in his hand
He beckons you and you follow
Through the doorway
To paradise
Which opens and closes behind you
Like a tomb
Where dead people are stored
(DEAD BODIES EVERYWHERE)
He is a very fat person
Who does not give a damn
He is my father
The most coarse man in the world
He goes home every day
And watches television
But he is not amused by what he sees
(DEAD BODIES EVERYWHERE)
Lo, a reed has grown
Piercing the leg
Shall I bleed to death
Here in the underworld?
Bloom of the Buttflower
(lyrics respectfully withheld for Prof. Buttmoog. RIP)
The Mouth is the Gate of Woe
CHORUS:
C'mon baby
Let your body go
I don't need to tell you
The mouth is the gate of woe
All aboard baby, come for a ride
The train of love is always right on time
Yeah, the first stop is ecstacy
And the second stop is also ecstacy
CHORUS
[verse indecipherable] ..shoes.
CHORUS
Yeah. Yeah. S'alright.
Talkin' about sexual
hyperdrive.
Uh-huh.
Seriously.
Uh-huh.
Yeah!
Rainy Day in Hot Dog City

CHORUS:

Get on down to the real nitty-gritty
Now listen up to the Hot Dog (diddy?)
[verse 1]
CHORUS

CHORUS

Can't stop movin, I gotta keep movin..
Can't stop movin, I gotta keep movin..
Can't stop movin, I gotta keep movin..
My Father Chastised You with Whips, But I Shall Chastise You with Scorpions

Cosmic Keys to My Car and House
[indecipherable]
Well, I have a nice car and a modest suburban home
I am the luckiest man alive
cosmic keys to my car and house
cosmic keys to my car and house
Pride of the Buttflower
(lyrics respectfully withheld for Prof. Buttmoog, God rest his soul)
Tongue-Kissing Jesus
CHORUS:
Corpus christi, body of Christ
They say love you and they treat you real nice
I don't need you to die for my sins
Can you make me feel like a re-eal woman?
You think you're pretty great
Because you're the Son of God
But if you turn the other cheek
?
And if you take the easy way out
You will always be just an ordinary jerk to me
CHORUS
Did no one ever teach you a women has needs?
I ain't givin' my heart to no dead man
?
I have better things to do than worship a savior who
Is afraid of love.
That's right, motherfucker!
CHORUS
Anyone can die for my sins
Can you make me feel like a re-eal woman?

lesson three
(sounds of truck driving over rough terrain)
Oooaah!
Oooh!
I shined my shoes, I washed my hair
Got an old wild hound dog sittin' back there
My younger brother was wrong in the head
Burden on the family so I left him for dead
The road is dirt
Dirt is brown
This rough terrain
Goes up and down
[verse]
The road is dirt
Dirt is brown
This rough terrain
Goes up and down
