lyrics

call the dogs and sound the horns
the city key of where i’s born
has been stolen by someone i thought i knew

she blew in with some angel dust
from southern state where love is lust
and i hope she’s gone by the time this song is through

but out among the passers by she wets her lips sweats her eyes
baits her tongue with pity for her prey
she transcends the avenue with a smile for me a wink for you
i guess i’ll take my place in yesterday




but darling i cant wait for you to leave this town
you just got here too late and no one wants you ‘round
with one foot on my back the other on the rail
i don’t want to see you fall i just want to see you fail

well the night is sweet the night’s divine
it stains your teeth with blood red wine
and leaves you lying in your enemy’s arms

and while you mumble down the hall
something ‘bout a skin made wall
you find you’re just a sucker for her charms

‘cause the vanity that cakes her face
sucks you into death’s embrace
you feel your sense of self just fade away

see you’re just a one man show
and once you’re done its time to go
hear some restless footsteps down the way

the youth protests the failing light
with his shirt sleeves rolled in the humid night
he wonders where it was that he went wrong

and in denial while he ascends
to her lofty room where all dreams end
he watches while his footsteps lead him on

but his turn comes the next in line
the well worn steps he slowly climbs
to find her lying meat-hooks on display

and in the streets the sirens sing
what word they tell what news they bring
the puppet in his cuffs of string obeys
