Well firstly, it's "Where the Slime Live." Not "lives." But on to the actual song...
This is obviously (yet another) anti-Faith-themed song. "The slime" are the Christians and all other believers in the Faith, and so from there it's easy to figure out what it's about. "Their poison fingers that wrote the poison lies" - how they wrote the Bible, etc. This whole song is about the eventualy takeover and destruction of the slime, although "they'll come again someday." I especially like how Dave Vincent taunts them when he says, verbally, "And what a tragedy-HAH!-when the 'god-heads' are removed." The effects on Vincent's voice on this song are also especially effective; he sounds like he's underwater, and he IS singing about "the slime." Yet another dark, gruesome, wonderful song from this very brave and well-intentioned band.
