I left your lover in the slough I left your lover in the slough He spilled his guts but none of it was true I left your lover in the slough. All the letters he wrote you Were left in plain view I recited them out loud as I was running him through I left your lover in the slough. Crayfish will do as they wish No need to stick around and watch Crayfish will do as they wish with every inch of him. Out here past the muck and brine, I wait beneath the power lines And now its half past nine He's never been this late before Crayfish will do as they wish Cattails beyond the pale Hide the reason why he's late I almost can't blame him I may have done the same And would expect to pay when caught on someone else's claim Crayfish will do as they wish with every inch of him.
