Okay, the actual lyrics are a bit different: (also please note, there are two Melvins songs with this very similiar name. This one is AMAZON (all caps) the other is amazon (all lower case)
AMAZON by the Melvins
By the time you're natural,
By the time you die,
I'll take my head and spin it for you
I'll just look around.
And I caught you lying
ANd I call dead
You come and poison all the things that I once said were god.
Everybody's hungry
Everybody's high,
We'll sit around and ask ourselves if it was all a lie
And I already told you
And you already did,
But you have got to know yourself and so I let it slide
Can you be to careful?
Can you hold my hand?
It takes forever for the sounds to get around
And I already loved you
And I already saw
But were we all. .. just sore. ..
I think that this song has both meaning and setting. The setting is the young-group-sitting-around-hanging out. The meaning is about when you find out that you've been betrayed. (probably by love?) and can't believe that you did so much for so little, or for it all to come out ot nothing.
