Fountain Of Filth Lyrics

There it was

Just like old faithful

The eternal fountain of filth

I took a walk straight out of town

But then I stopped and took my time for pleasure

I was alone, I looked around

I heard a voice 50 I buckled for safety

And there it was down on the ground

A pool of sound that showed my own reflection

In a fountain of filth

Eternal fountain of filth

I tried to run I couldn't move

Frozen solid while the thoughts of men

Attacked me

Out of my head the fountain shot

And drowned me in a serum that I couldn't

Put a stop to

It was me myself and I locked in a struggle

With the talking head below me

In a fountain of filth

Eternal fountain of filth

I got a hunger that makes me say things

I got a hunger that makes me do things

I got a hunger that makes me want things

I'm just a victim of filth

Nowhere are we safe

From the power of

From the reach of

From the appeal of

The eternal fountain of filth

Cover art for Fountain Of Filth lyrics by Devo

I think its about a guy starts taking a piss out in a public area, convinced that he is alone. However, he soon realizes he isn't, but he can't stop pissing. That may not be exactly what was intended, but that's how I interpret it.

My Interpretation
Cover art for Fountain Of Filth lyrics by Devo

I think its about lust ("I got a hunger") and masturbation:

"I stopped & took my time for pleasure/ I heard a voice so I buckled up..." "out of my head the fountain shot" etc.

But maybe its just nonsense. Good song.
