3. The Anthropophagists' Club ('The Circus At the End of the World' album)
Oh well On old cannibal bay Down a blackend street Where all the darkest knaves The darkest villains meet They drink the darkest brews Smoking the finest weeds We've never had a hitch Come on back and Work your needs
Oh Well I fell down there I barely got back up again I saw her coal black hair I saw her bosom skin If I told you she sang nice Might be a lie or true Her band was cold as ice Come lets start that shining blue
What's beside me stiff and straight Can't stop to care what anybody thinks Say what you will I'm getting out of this place What's beside me stiff and straight Can't stop to care what anybody thinks Say what you will I'm getting out of this place
Oh Well She sits and takes my hand You've got a trustworthy face. I said I dig your band Now lets get out of this place She sent me to a room With a suspicious smell And soon I fell asleep And I woke up in hell
What's beside me stiff and straight Can't stop to care what anybody thinks Say what you will I'm getting out of this place What's beside me stiff and straight Can't stop to care what anybody thinks Say what you will I'm getting out of this place
When I woke up again I was tied to the wall My shirt was to my waist Felt like I'd been lit up raw There were all kind of tubes Flowing steady from my veins Opened from arms and chest and legs all points Up to my brains.
There were tubes and glass From my shoulder to my ass That mixed in a bowl of crap In the colder drink in the cavalry's veins And they ended in a bartender's tap So when they filled the mug or played liter or jug It was me that was in their tank Before they turned the raft For my consciousness left Oh god, who had I drank!
What's beside me stiff and straight Can't stop and care what anybody thinks Say what you will I'm getting out of this place What's beside me stiff and straight Can't stop and care what anybody thinks Say what you will I'm getting out of this place
