Night of the Long Knives

Hold me on this night of the long knives

Hold me on this night of the long knives

It's coming

Shame about your neighborhood

It's coming

Shame about your neighborhood

There's a flood on the street, there's a tide and it's coming in now

Yet the concrete burns at the back of your skull

And they're saying it's a wave, but it feels like a dribbling now

There's a light bulb flicker, but it never goes on

Yes, the bomb may be falling if it lies where you stood

Man, I know it's a real big shame about your neighborhood

I'm the wrong kind of people, why'd you listen to me?

Just the island of breathing in and out

And it was a long time coming

It was a long time coming

It's coming

Shame about your neighborhood

It's coming

Shame about your neighborhood

There's a car overturned and it isn't stopping any time soon

But the front seat sure beats licking some toads

And the sparks make the dark uncanny like a living cartoon

What the hell do you mean when you talk about roads?

Yes, the bomb may be falling if it lies where you stood

Man, I know it's a real big shame about your neighborhood

I'm the wrong kind of people, why'd you listen to me?

Just the island of breathing in and out

And it was a long time coming

It was a long time coming

Shame about your neighborhood

It's coming

Shame about your neighborhood

It's coming

Shame about your neighborhood

Hold me on this night of the long knives

Hold me on this night of the long knives

I've been dying all my life

I've been dying all my life

I've been dying all my life

I've been dying all my life

It's coming

Shame about your neighborhood

It's coming

Shame about your neighborhood

It's coming

It was a long time coming

Shame about your neighborhood

It's coming

It was a long time coming

Shame about your neighborhood

It's coming
