Oh classic gentlemen
Say your prayers
To the wind, of prostitution
To your faces, and Rex complexes
Riddle my breast
Full of the oppressed puss
Oh gentlemen, with your fish
The you surround, all around
And you man, will always point
Your fishes, at me
But I will always exist
Because I always exist
Damn good too
The rat race begins
The fat face stings
I hold the fresh pink baby
With a smile
I slice off those rosy cheeks
Because I feel so thirsty
And Oedipus Rex complexes
...riddle my closed bloated breast
Say your prayers
To the wind, of prostitution
To your faces, and Rex complexes
Riddle my breast
Full of the oppressed puss
Oh gentlemen, with your fish
The you surround, all around
And you man, will always point
Your fishes, at me
But I will always exist
Because I always exist
Damn good too
The rat race begins
The fat face stings
I hold the fresh pink baby
With a smile
I slice off those rosy cheeks
Because I feel so thirsty
And Oedipus Rex complexes
...riddle my closed bloated breast

I can't escape the thought of this having a religious undertone either. The "fish" may also refer to Jesus, and the gentlemen pointing their fishes fits my image of religious figureheads who waive their rod of morale.
With this in mind, I see the song as displaying some anthropocentric qualities: the faces of God/Jesus/religion in general is everchanging with time ("the rat race begins") whereas man is constant (the "I will always exist" part)
However, I'd like to see some thoughts on how this relates to the other parts of the The Three Shadows-piece?
