lyrics

I spy
You unlucky creatures
Crawling in the streets un-chaperoned.
Made
Of muslin and meat.
The Day-leavers gleefully far from home.
Sway
In swilling Bohemia,
These monsters all speak with silver tongues.
“Have another whiskey baby.
I bet they don’t dance like this at home.”
~~~
Away
From such horrible things
All grinning gin deceit on the cobblestones.
You say
Such innocent things.
Say them only to me now promise won’t you.
Said you’ve got a fever lately.
Hot as a secret.

I’ve been painting pictures of you,
I’ve been painting pictures all wrong.
Hell is in the streets below us,
Devil took a room right down the hall.
Get a little sanctuary
And shut the window.
~~~
I can hear
That band in my sleep
With the never-ending beat and the seven horns
In pairs
Spinning circles for weeks.
All rosy red cheeks and Yankee brawn.
Got a sinking feeling lately
Guns last forever
And the western world has gone to feed.
Miming hallelujah baby.
I saw the devil beaming
Money made the millions beg for war.

I’ve been painting pictures of you,
I’ve been painting pictures all wrong.
Hell is in the streets below us,
Devil took a room right down the hall.
Get a little sanctuary
And shut the window.
