Trojan Curfew Lyrics
|
|
Greek gods are communing
|
Beneath the Doric arch
|
And they talk how small we humans are
|
They drink to Agamemnon
|
They toast his Pyhrric march
|
And wait for the sacrifices
|
|
Shepherds herd in real time
|
Sheep are barley-grazing on a field of green
|
Vines ripen to find
|
Troy will prevail
|
Trojan curfews prevail
|
|
So we got smashed on Ios
|
Down around some Doric arch
|
And the trashed blonde Scandi
|
Mistook me for a Swede
|
Her slurred Medieval accent
|
Was like a puddle at my feet
|
You could see chopped tobacco in her teeth
|
|
Flaccid waves converging
|
On a rock hard strip of concrete
|
Near a field of green
|
We sign Deutschmarks are fine
|
Aren't you too pale
|
Does it hurt you?
|
So pale
|
Trojan curfews prevail
|
|
