Dead Man Slough (Pacifastacus Leniusculus)

I left your lover in the slough
Your lover in the slough
He spilled his guts but none of it was true
I left your lover in the slough


All the letters he wrote you, were left in plain view
I recited them out loud as I was running him through
I left your lover in the slough


Crayfish will do as they wish
No need to stick around and watch
Crayfish will do as they wish with every inch of him


Out here past the muck and brine,
I wait beneath the power lines
And now its half past nine
He’s never been this late before


Crayfish will do as they wish
Cattails beyond the pale hide the reason why he’s late


I almost can’t blame him,
I may have done the same
And would expect to pay when caught on someone else’s claim


Crayfish will do as they wish with every inch of him
