lyrics
A sacrament of bitters
Oh so tall and so erect
Rapture of bitters, San Pedro
Elixir of bitters, skin shredded and licked
So bitter in the boiling, San Pedro
In the caves of Bonny Doon
Black widows hung above our heads
While we dined beneath them on San Pedro
Turn my shadows into prisms
Turn my prisms into visions
Mouthful of bitters
Change my blood to red, red wine
Intoxicating bitters, San Pedro
Darkness of bitters
I'm waiting while you light the sky
Brilliant in the waiting, San Pedro
In the caves of Bonny Doon
Black widows hung above our heads
While we dined beneath them on San Pedro
Turn my shadows into prisms
Turn my prisms into visions
Piercing of bitters
Claw, tooth, arrow drenched in venom
Rapture in the venom, San Pedro
Sunrise, sunset, I watch you come, I watch you go
Oh my God, San Pedro!
