An Antidote for Strychnine |
| Dig around in the garbage |
| Save up some halibut bones in a jar |
| Scrape a winter’s worth of salt deposits |
| From the rusty frame of my car |
| Ask the experts, maybe they’ll know |
| Call up my teacher in Cambridge |
| See what he remembers |
| Throw white phosphorus in the fireplace |
| Look for clues in the embers |
| Call the hotline, give them a phony last name |
| Try to find |
| An antidote for strychnine |
| Tryin' to find |
| An antidote for strychnine |
| Time’s running short |
| Always seems to run shorter |
| Have some supplies sent |
| From up just past the northern border |
| Keep a line out to the people who take the long view |
| Only share my research |
| With sick lab rats like me |
| Trapped behind the beakers |
| And the Erlenmeyer flasks |
| Cut off from the world, I may not ever get free |
| But I may one day |
| Tryin' to find |
| An antidote for strychnine |
| Try to find |
| An antidote for strychnine |
| So many suffering from the same affliction |
| Coming up on the breakthrough |
| The clock’s ticking |
| Dig down amongst my calculations |
| Check my math |
| Up there on the surface |
| Everybody’s getting ready for the bloodbath |
| Stem the tide, stem the tide |
| They’re calling down for reinforcements |
| Tryin' to find |
| An antidote for strychnine |
| Tryin' to find |
| An antidote for strychnine |
