Through all of the highways, the byways I've travelled
|
through all of the sidestreets and alleys of sin
|
Through all that's been heard nothing sinks quite as low
|
as the prominent statements of prominent men
|
|
Prominent men tell prominent stories
|
prominent men tell prominent lies
|
Prominent men kiss the ass of Dame Fortune
|
prominent men will tear out your eyes
|
|
The streets that have life with the cat's underbelly
|
aligned with their tracks of a thousand good-byes
|
A poor woman screams with the heat of disaster
|
as the prominent men sit and strengthen their ties
|
|
Oh, the prominent girls of the prominent people
|
make prominent dresses and prominent hair
|
Oh, their prominent wealth and their eyes blazed with shadow
|
the prominent horrors with the ghost millionaire
|
|
The shiny stained window now cracked at sunset
|
they shiny red dawn of the heart soon must fall
|
This simply occurred at the seat of the cauldron
|
those prominent men hadn't been there at all
|
|
Prominent men tell prominent stories
|
prominent men tell prominent lies
|
Prominent men kiss the ass of Dame Fortune
|
prominent men will tear out your eyes
|
|
Oh, the prominent child of these prominent people
|
seeks prominent schools with the finery of age
|
With a prominent pink of a tasteless red orchid
|
the prominent men casts a prominent heir
|
|
The child of the agent walks barefoot upon grass
|
he screams with a power that terror's green eyes
|
His knife harshly glistening, stabs noways and always
|
but those prominent men in nowhere in sight
|
|
Prominent men tell prominent stories
|
prominent men tell prominent lies
|
Prominent men kiss the ass of Dame Fortune
|
prominent men will tear out your eyes
|
