Songtexte Army Ants - Tom Waits
The
Whirligig
Beetles
are
wary
and
Fast
with
an
organ
to
detect
the
ripples
The
Arachnid
Moths
lay
their
eggs
inside
other
insects
Along
the
borders
of
fields
or
roads
in
clusters
of
white
cocoons
The
Ribbed
Pine
Borer
is
a
longhorn
beetle,
Their
antenna's
are
half
the
length
of
Their
body
and
they
feed
on
dead
red
pine
Robber
Flies,
with
their
immobile
heads,
Inject
a
paralyzing
fluid
into
their
Prey
that
they
snatch
from
life
in
mid-air
The
Snow
Flea's
mode
of
locomotion,
strange
and
odd,
With
a
spiny
tail
mechanism
with
hooks
and
a
Protracted
tube
from
the
abdomen
to
enable
moisture
absorption
The
female
Praying
Mantis
devours
the
male
while
they
are
mating.
The
male
sometimes
continues
copulating
even
after
the
Female
has
bitten
off
his
head
and
part
of
his
upper
torso
Every
night
wasps
bite
into
the
stem
of
a
plant,
Lock
their
mandibles
into
position,
Stretch
out
at
right
angles
to
the
stem
And,
with
legs
dangling,
they
fall
asleep
If
one
places
a
minute
amount
of
liquor
on
a
Scorpion,
it
will
instantly
go
mad
and
sting
itself
to
death
The
Bombardier
Beetle,
when
disturbed,
Defends
itself
by
emitting
a
series
of
explosions,
Sometimes
setting
off
4 or
5 reports
in
succession.
The
noises
sound
like
miniature
popgun
blasts
and
are
Accompanied
by
a
cloud
of
reddish
coloured
vile
smelling
fluid
It
is
commonly
known
that
ants
keep
slaves.
Certain
species,
the
so-called
Sanguinary
Ants
in
particular,
Will
raid
the
nests
of
other
ant
tribes
and
Kill
the
queen
and
then
kidnap
many
of
the
workers.
The
workers
are
brought
back
to
the
captor's
hive
Where
they
are
coerced
into
performing
menial
tasks
And
as
we
discussed
last
semester,
The
Army
Ants
will
leave
nothing
but
your
bones
Perhaps
you've
encountered
some
of
these
insects
in
your
communities,
Displaying
both
their
predatory
and
defense
characteristics,
While
imbedded
within
the
walls
of
flesh
and
Passing
for,
what
is
most
commonly
recognized...
