about

He reaches a mountain's foot that could take him out of the fog, then lo, not far from where the ascent began, a lady blocks his way and from his presence doesn’t move away.

lyrics

The engineer's wife has spoken now
words of wisdom or somehow
she's the only one who knows about life
she's so proud to be an engineer's wife

Stoning everyone who's gotta be stoned
knowing everything that's to be known
pontificating 'bout
niggers

The engineer lies on his bed again
punchin 'his head every now and then
bedsores on his butt and back
waiting for his next headache attack

Wifey lovingly provides
feeding him on his bedside
while he is
screaming

The engineer's wife makes another attempt
of glaring at the black guy with contempt
husband always feels the pain
and also the water in his brain

Look into the vacuum of her eyes
hope she will stop with all those lies
outside it's
raining
