Lyrics

here you
are boy
here you are
here you
are boy
Here you are
here you
are boy
Here you are
I tip to Bengal
tip to Somal
I tip to Burmese
tip Kenyanese
see them sliding
through the sun
I tip Havanian
Abyssinian
Here Alaskan
Here Corsican
See them sliding
through the sun
it's on me
all my life
On me
all my life
Scalper
in the lampglow
scalper
on a chair
stick wiped
shirt?
and his arm
somewhere
Fleur de Lis
le wrist is
connected
chief of police
a la collar -
- bones disconnected
and here you
are boy
here you are
and hear the
word of the
lord
I tip to Bengal
no
he tips to
Bengal
tips to Somal
tips to Burmese
tips Kenyanese
See them sliding
through the sun
Scalper
in the lampglow
scalper
everywhere
stick wiped shirt?
say something
round that
shredded dirt
Say Fleur de Lis
Le jaw bone
connected
chief of police
a la ankles -
- connected
And here you
are boy
here you are
here you
are boy
here you are
he tips Havanian
tips Abyssinian
here Alaskan
here Corsican
we tip to
Russo
