Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This town is over, it fell into the sea
All the rich folks come vacationing
Where the clowns laugh at his own joke
At his wounded pecker and his tortured throat
[Chorus]
All the ashes fire the flame
Love grew ten feet tall in the time you were away
Did you heed the call? Were you led astray?
Work is work or it wouldn't pay
[Instrumental]
A bitter morning, the sun is dope sick
And all the world is tied off for its fix
At the casino, where all the scene girls
Say they don't mind turnin' tricks
[Chorus]
All the ashes fire the flame
Love grew ten feet tall in the time you were away
Did you heed the call? Were you led astray?
Work is work or it wouldn't pay
[Instrumental]
Higher the needle, white is the steeple
Cash in Heaven or inbred friends
Your mother's sufferin', it came to nothin'
You never asked to be born again
[Bridge]
But skin is thin and thought is silken
Reluctant pilgrim, your blood is milk and
The worm is turnin' so happy in his burnin'
Unknowin' and permanent and spittin' gold
[Chorus]
All the ashes fire the flame
Love grew ten feet tall in the time you were away
Did you heed the call? Were you led astray?
Work is work or it wouldn't pay
Work is work or it wouldn't pay
