Bagiennik
Bagiennik was the name of water demons in the Slavic mythology. They were akin to the bathhouse spirit Bannik. They were subject to Wąda, lady of the lakes and the shallow streams, also known as the Queen of the Underwater Lawns.
The Bagienniks lived in the depths of lakes and rivers. They were capable of emitting an oily substance from the nostrils, which were located between the eyes or on the forehead. This substance was so hot that it burned the victims it hit, but it was also provided with notable healing abilities for rheumas, deep wounds, indigestion, heart illness and even infertility.
The presence of bagienniks could be detected by the bubbles on the water's surface, or by its darker and muddy color.

Beijing
by: Melissa FerrickI'm digging a hole
In my back yard
I hit rock and sprung water
I dove in
And Ended up in Beijing
Stole me a bike
Joined up with the monks
Because silence
Is worth more these days
Oh Than AOL Time Warner
Or Martha Stewart stocks
If you can get it
Grab as much as you can
And hide it in your basement
For the next disaster
Silence for the next disaster
Oh and my guitar
Sounds so good
Because I can't tell you why
And if distance makes the heart grow fonder
Then oh look at you and I yea
Look at you and I
If you can get it
Grab as much as you can
And hide it in your basement
For the next disaster
A little perfection
During your disaster
So bring me down
To where I can't see
I'll pray for some medicine
Explain to you I'm lost
You said you're not lost you're free
You said you're free baby
You're free
You said you're free
If you can get it
Grab as much as you can
Hide it in your basement
For the next disaster
Yea during your disasters
