Big black wolf, clawing at your door Dead man's hand, crawling across the floor Witch on the horizon, brewing up a vex Everyone in town is wondering who is next Toothless tramp, crawling through the mud Turned in to the dead by puffer fish blood God of the sea, swinging his trident Stoke our fires with the bones of tyrants
The city trudges on Under a sky as grey as the mayor's heart
Meanest man alive, lives for a hundred years Town pedophile, bathes in little girls tears Ghosts of old love are blowing through the pines Nicotine babies being born with no spines Gather up the children and lead them to the cliffs The anchor has been cut and we are all adrift New plague is rolling through the slums of old town Roaches move in, as rats have all drown
The city trudges on Under a sky as grey as the mayor's heart As grey as prison bars As grey as a border fence As grey as a chain As grey as the mayor's heart As grey as prison bars As grey as a border fence As grey as a chain
