Gelatinous Tubercles Of Purulent Ossification Lyrics

Unavoidable laryngectomy
Summon the E.N.T. M.D.
Is this the end for me?
Install the Western Electric number 5000
Creach modification
Nicotine addiction, larnyx benediction
Learn a whole new way to speak

Physic's law number two
Every action that you do
Has a strong and binding force
Set in motion human course

Your rainbow and the pot of gold
The dreams that you had grow cold
Your mistake burdens you a hundred fold
God knows our hearts are weak
But we must learn to think before we speak
And consider the damage that we wreak
By choosing a foolish road to seek

Cover art for Gelatinous Tubercles Of Purulent Ossification lyrics by Tourniquet

About nicotine addiction and how we must be careful not to let it, or other addictions, ruin our lives. Just starting one time could send you all the way to getting a voice box.

But why I posted here is the vocoder voice...in order of appearances, these are the five things said:

"When the sunlight strikes raindrops in the air, they act like a prism and form a rainbow. The rainbow is a division of white light into many beautiful colors."

"I don't want to go to the movies tonight."

"A rainbow."

"Pot of gold."

"Regardless of the day, I'm glad you were born."

Good start .. but, as with so many Tourniquet songs, goes further than addiction. The key, I think, is where they sing "Every action that you do/Has a strong and binding force". The song is about how we, and others around us, suffer the consequences of our actions.
