Lyrics

O how will I ever pay my cemetery bills?
I wondered as I rode along the Tempelhof grills
Beneath the vampire sun behind the pork smoke for days
Through the fields of the dead dressed in tropical glaze
The air did whistle, atrocities dropped,
Dripping bone bracket city
with a hip static gristle pop pop pop pop
All the cities of the old world belch their mourning breath
And whisper to the firmament ‘O let us have our death’
All the years of being trod upon, the shit we have to eat,
Let the vines be the drapes and draw on every street
A play of summer lightning from on Letka Park
Inside a Prussian blue front casting Prague into dark,
Illuminates a church with all monkeys rolling through it,
This late stage gibbering menace ought to do it…
To do it, to do it, This ought to do it…
In a little emerald room inside a goodly ochre house
Where he writes like a lion and sings like a mouse,
On a little uptight island by a large unhappy island
All his efforts bend to flying to the old ghost world
For here in the antipodes they say it’s in your head
When you’re supposed to feel lucky but you mostly feel dead.
How fast my last European fever flew,
I’d like to walk you all through it, but I guess this ought to do it…
To do it, to do it, This ought to do it…
