slug and her volcano

May 30, 2025

NEW RELEASE! The second single from the new album, “Chameleon.”

“slug and her volcano” (c) 2024, lyrics by vocalist Chelsea Austin, music by Chelsea & guitarist Patrick S. Noonan

Verse 1

The flea follows you around

got nothing left to do but huff and paint the town

figures up ahead / never makes a sound

wants to want / then watch the waves drift / and fall down

 

Verse 2

motherbull, you sack of pleas

fit my hoof and bone and mouth and everything

grab me back / aggress my seams

drink it like you mean it / hang my throat within dreams

 

Chorus 1

I haven’t rotted in your mouth / in so long

or wasted good wine / in the hot bath / of a holy-less crime

 

Verse 3

in the stars, I’m just a shard

formless blast, and it cuddles like a car

somewhere above, / somewhere the char

covers as a carcass / like its dirt, I’m the yard

 

Verse 4

sisterluck, I begged for trees

And in the dying light I mapped a little breeze

follow some breath / then follow me

cordial as a doorbell / I will ring it till it seize

 

Chorus 2

I haven’t rotted in your mouth / in so long

or wasted good wine / in the hot bath / of a holy last crime

I haven’t rotted in your mouth / in so long

or gorged the new veins / in the found skin / I hope remembered my name
