Lyrics:

My baby’s got quills,
Rough and unkind,
Eats my nectar and the rhine,
Just to pass the time

She’s got mad skills,
Knows how to run life,
Leaving skeletons behind,
They didn’t tow the line

Hole in one, feeling we won it all,
Hole in one, for your cause,
Hole in one, feeling like we walked inside your mind,
You gotta run when they tell you to hide,
Or hit the floor

Henrietta
Never fails to fog my mind,
All of the time
Henrietta, it scares my vital signs,
Spike in the line,
You know better,
Than tempting me with all your lies,
Tied in a knot,
Pull the thread out,
And leave your last thought behind,
To brighten your smile

She’s sending me chills,
Down my spine,
Shakes my soul and melts my mind,
Sends me to overdrive

But the way she thrills,
Exaggerates life,
Beauty never felt so right,
Gonna hold on tight

Hole in one, feeling we won it all,
Hole in one, for your cause,
Hole in one, feeling like we walked inside your mind,
You gotta run when they tell you to hide,
Or hit the floor

Henrietta
Never fails to fog my mind,
All of the time
Henrietta, it scares my vital signs,
Spike in the line
You know better,
Than tempting me with all your lies,
Tied in a knot,
Pull the thread out,
And leave your last thought behind,
And brighten your smile

Henrietta
Never fails to fog my mind,
All of the time
Henrietta, it scares my vital signs,
Spike in the line
You know better,
Than tempting me with all your lies,
Tied in a knot,
Pull the thread out,
And leave your last thought behind,
And brighten your smile

Henrietta
Never fails to fog my mind,
All of the time
Henrietta, it scares my vital signs,
Spike in the line
You know better…

Notes:

Greg mentioned that “Henrietta” is about a porcupine during PPPP’s SiriusXM Jam_ON interview/performances on 10/03/2017.

Also there is mention of a porcupine named “Henrietta” in the sitcom The Office:

The Office :: Season 8 :: 10th Episode :: “Christmas Wishes” :: 12/08/2011
Dwight: Ah! I’ve been attacked! Oh my god! Oh! Someone put a porcupine in my drawer!
Toby: Oh my god.
Dwight: Yeah, I was just sitting here at my desk and I, I reached into my drawer to grab my toothbrush and some tooth powder and, and all of a sudden I was attacked by this blood thirsty rabid creature!
Jim: I wonder, in this office, who has access to a porcupine?
Dwight: Or who in this office knows that I have access and is trying to set me up?
Jim: Hmm…
Toby: You know this sounds a lot like the premise of my latest Chad Flendermen novel. A murder for framing.
Jim: OK, you know what? Why don’t we just call animal control…
Dwight: Might wanna run that by Angela cause it’s so cute.
Angela: No. Porcupines don’t have souls. They’re like dogs.
Jim: [on phone] Yes, I’m calling from Dunder Mifflin. We have a very rabid porcupine in our office, someone should come pick it up.
Dwight: Come down right away!
Jim: [on phone]Uh, I don’t know, let me ask. [to Dwight] Uh, were you quilled?
Dwight: Yes, I was quilled.
Jim: And what’s it’s name?
Dwight: Henrietta.
