lyrics

Let me tell you all about Nasty's Fort
It was named after a great man
President to the Indians and Pilgrims
On Sundays he'd go hunting in the woods
And let loose the hounds
Walking up and down the stairs of Old Nasty's Fort
Butlers and maids would stomp
Calling their Master's name

And they'd always find him sleeping...
Sleeping in the forest
Lost in a dream...
His coat and his hat hung upon a nearby tree
Peat moss for pillows and the sky a blanket for his head
Bittersweet tears forming rings around the scars
That marked his face like one big fingerprint

And yet in his later life, that Old Nasty
Just locked himself in his fort
As if to barricade himself from the
Unforgiving chokehold of time...
But time...time, it must have
Slipped in through the air ducts
Down into the cellar and up through the floorboards
At the base of Old Nasty's bed
Until one night, when his muscles siezed up
And his one good eye rolled back into it's socket...
He died that night! He died that night!

Nobody visits Nasty's Fort no more...
Seems these days nobody can think of a reason
