Smart Flesh - The Low Anthem[00:00:01]
See the high wire man there before the sun[00:00:20]
He goes home at night where he beats on his son[00:00:27]
The play right in the attic in his skylight of sun[00:00:34]
As the cigarette on his lips[00:00:40]
And his son beats down on the smart smart flesh[00:00:47]
It comes down from high in its heavenly stand[00:00:54]
Suggesting redemption will be easily possessed[00:01:00]
For less than any pound of Flesh[00:01:07]
It's terribly important to every man of his state[00:01:14]
To settle the score write the record straight[00:01:20]
So he may free his slaves where on the death bed he lays[00:01:26]
Such sweet and knowing flesh[00:01:33]
Knowing in the end you'll be alone[00:01:39]
For lonely death does creep[00:01:46]
So hire yourself a chimney maid[00:01:53]
And smoke yourself to sleep[00:01:59]
Among the manikin men all dressed up and in dart[00:02:19]
My manic depressive true love she leaves me for lone[00:02:26]
The rooster crawls and daybreak is upon[00:02:33]
As the cigarette on his lips[00:02:38]
Saying pretty girls go and take your time[00:02:44]
For god only knows how you have taken mine[00:02:51]
And seize them clear to the ends of time[00:02:57]
To hold the smart smart flesh[00:03:03]
Knowing in the end you'll be alone[00:03:09]
For lonely death does creep[00:03:16]
So hire yourself a chimney maid[00:03:22]
And smoke yourself to sleep[00:03:29]
Now the hateful play right it's time that he dies[00:04:01]
Must visit the judge in a new disguise[00:04:08]
Saying judge in your robes oh judge so wise[00:04:14]
There's something on your lip[00:04:21]
In a man of his state right before he dies[00:04:27]
Must clear the black pages to tarnish the mind[00:04:33]
In a bible in a bath for mind to hide[00:04:39]
He soak the smart smart flesh[00:04:46]
Saying in the end you'll be alone[00:04:52]
For lonely death does creep[00:04:59]
So hire yourself a chimney maid[00:05:05]
And smoke yourself to sleep[00:05:11]
The unknowing tumor is fixing his home[00:05:45]
In a damp bed of the catacomb[00:05:50]
As a raging war on the high wire unfolds[00:05:57]
She buries her teeth in the flesh[00:06:04]
Now the world's a machine do you know that it's true [00:06:10]
For the sole lover's eye laid just outside the room[00:06:17]
He loves itself widely but what can it do[00:06:23]
The cigarette on his lip[00:06:30]
