The Odor

Intro

(Hallelujah)

Yeah

Sinner man

The smell of the flesh

It lingers

God breathe on me

Verse 1

Stench

Sulfur smoke

Burnt hair and broken pride

I stepped in the gutter where the demons hide

Rank

Rotting

The devil wears a designer musk

I smell like the tax man at dusk

Wash me

Scrub the skin raw

Bleach the soul clean

I’m a king in a cage of what’s obscene

Nose

Burning

Seven days no shower

I lost my scent and I lost my power

Chorus

It never goes away

The smell of the grave

It follows me home

It sits on the throne

God save my nose

God save my clothes

It won’t leave me alone

It won’t leave me alone

It won't leave me alone

Verse 2

Musty

Middle of the summer

Pits like a swamp

I’m a god but I smell like a chomp

High fashion

Dirty laundry

Burberry soaked in the sweat of the street

I can’t even taste the bread I eat

Bitter

Biting

Brimstone on the tongue

The song of the foul is the song being sung

Loud

Reeking

Maybe I’m dead

Maybe it’s all inside of my head

Maybe I’m dead

Chorus

It never goes away

The smell of the grave

It follows me home

It sits on the throne

God save my nose

God save my clothes

It won’t leave me alone

It won’t leave me alone

It won't leave me alone

Bridge

Holy water

Splash it on the rug

I’m a giant bug

Underneath the heel

I can’t even feel

What is real

I pray, I fast, I stink

I pray, I fast, I stink

I pray, I fast, I stink

Get the Febreze for the Pharisees

Chorus

It never goes away

The smell of the grave

It follows me home

It sits on the throne

God save my nose

God save my clothes

It won’t leave me alone

It won’t leave me alone

It won't leave me alone

Outro

Wash it off

(Wash it off)

Lord I’m fragrant with the sin

Let the fresh air in

Amen

It's just the spirit

Smell it

Yeah
