Wharves

Waves on wharves, war washed the poor

Never broke again, what he said on the farm

Next day they was gone

Back by nightfall, they swung in the maw

Hung by daylight, the day was long

Sweep water out with the dipper

Salt in the mouth of a river

Mangrove thickets, man's soul was broken mirrors

False witness, wolf tickets

Nowadays scavengers come before the wolf's finished

Teeth bare, bristlin', they not scared, somethin' different

The huts was empty, coal still warm in the kitchen

Cannibal tours, they came on all fours

Waterborne, eyes like Jaws

Bones litter the beach, gnawed

Cracked meat out the beast's claws

Cannibal tours, they came on all fours

Waterborne, eyes like Jaws

Bones litter the beach, gnawed

Cracked meat right out the beast's claws

Drums in the hills like sunset

The gun turret swing right to left

African Queen on the ships deck

Shipwrecked Europeans swimmin' with the virus

Shot out like God's semen

"Fuck the world" Pac's screamin'

Crack missions for the heathens

Boats listing from the stealings

Smoke drifting from holes in the ceilings

The swollen chiefs sit, bickering while the meat crisp

The chiefs eat children, the grease drip, the meat rich

Down here it's just a muddy creek, bend and twist, the braai hiss

The fat run in rivulets, the fire spit

Cannibal tours, they came on all fours

Waterborne, eyes like Jaws

Bones litter the beach, gnawed

Cracked meat out the beast's claws

Cannibal tours, they came on all fours

Waterborne, eyes like Jaws

Bones litter the beach, gnawed

Cracked meat right out the beast's claws
