See the high wire man, there before the sun
|
He goes home at night, where he beats on his son
|
The play right in the attic, in his skylight of sun
|
As the cigarette on his lips
|
|
And his son beats down, on the smart smart flesh
|
It comes down from high, in its heavenly stand
|
Suggesting redemption, will be easily possessed
|
For less than any pound of Flesh
|
|
It's terribly important, to every man of his state
|
To settle the score, write the record straight
|
So he may free his slaves, where on the death bed he lays
|
Such sweet and knowing flesh
|
|
Knowing in the end, you'll be alone
|
For lonely death does creep
|
So hire yourself, a chimney maid
|
And smoke yourself to sleep
|
|
Among the manikin men, all dressed up and in dart
|
My manic depressive true love, she leaves me for lone
|
The rooster crawls, and daybreak is upon
|
As the cigarette on his lips
|
|
Saying pretty girls, go and take your time
|
For god only knows how you have taken mine
|
And seize them clear, to the ends of time
|
To hold the smart smart flesh
|
|
Knowing in the end, you'll be alone
|
For lonely death does creep
|
So hire yourself, a chimney maid
|
And smoke yourself to sleep
|
|
Now the hateful play right, it's time that he dies
|
Must visit the judge in a new disguise
|
Saying judge in your robes, oh judge so wise
|
There's something on your lip
|
|
In a man of his state, right before he dies
|
Must clear the black pages to tarnish the mind
|
In a bible in a bath, for mind to hide
|
He soak the smart smart flesh
|
|
Saying in the end, you'll be alone
|
For lonely death does creep
|
So hire yourself, a chimney maid
|
And smoke yourself to sleep
|
|
The unknowing tumor, is fixing his home
|
In a damp bed of the catacomb
|
As a raging war, on the high wire unfolds
|
She buries her teeth in the flesh
|
|
Now the world's a machine, do you know that it's true?
|
For the sole lover's eye laid just outside the room
|
He loves itself widely but what can it do
|
The cigarette on his lip
|
|
