Reflections of the Marionette - Two Gallants[00:00:00]
Call the dogs and sound the horns[00:00:32]
The city key of where's I borns[00:00:36]
Has been stolen by someone[00:00:40]
I thought I knew[00:00:43]
She blew in with some angel dust[00:00:48]
From southern state where love is lust and I hope she's gone[00:00:52]
By the time this song is through[00:00:58]
Out among the passers by[00:01:04]
She wets her lips sweats her eyes[00:01:08]
Baits her tongue with pity for her prey[00:01:12]
Do your best to look away[00:01:17]
And she transcends the avenue[00:01:20]
A smile for me a wink for you[00:01:23]
I guess I'll take my place in yesterday[00:01:27]
But darlin' I can't wait[00:01:33]
For you to leave this town[00:01:36]
You just got here too late[00:01:40]
And no one wants you 'round[00:01:43]
With one foot on my back[00:01:47]
And the other on the rail[00:01:51]
I don't want to see you fall[00:01:54]
I want to see you fail[00:01:58]
And the night is sweet the night's divine[00:02:03]
It stains your teeth with blood red wine[00:02:06]
And leaves you lying[00:02:10]
In your enemy's arms[00:02:11]
And while you mumble down the hall[00:02:16]
Something 'bout a skin made wall[00:02:20]
You find you're just[00:02:23]
A sucker for her charms[00:02:25]
And the vanity that cakes her face[00:02:30]
Sucks you in to death's embrace[00:02:33]
Feel your sense of self just fade away[00:02:37]
Spread you ashes in your grave[00:02:41]
And see you're just a one man show[00:02:44]
And once you're done it's time to go[00:02:47]
Hear somebody's footsteps down the way[00:02:50]
But darlin' I can't wait[00:02:55]
For you to leave this town[00:02:58]
You just got here too late[00:03:01]
And no one wants you 'round[00:03:04]
With one foot on my back[00:03:08]
And the other on the rail[00:03:11]
I don't want to see you fall[00:03:14]
I just want to see you fail[00:03:17]
And the youth protests the failing light[00:03:38]
With his shirt sleeves rolled in the humid night[00:03:41]
He wonders when it was[00:03:44]
That he went wrong[00:03:46]
And in denial while he ascends[00:03:50]
To a lofty room all dreams end[00:03:52]
He watches while his footsteps[00:03:55]
Lead him on[00:03:58]
And in the fires he takes his time[00:04:01]
The well worn steps he slowly climbs[00:04:04]
The final line of meathooks on display[00:04:07]
Did your conscience lose its way[00:04:11]
And in the streets the sirens sing[00:04:13]
What word they tell what news they bring[00:04:16]
The puppet and his cloak of strings obeys[00:04:19]
That's just bound in suede[00:04:23]
Hail the death of day[00:04:26]
But darlin' I can't wait[00:04:29]
For you to leave this town[00:04:32]
You just got here too late[00:04:34]
And no one wants you 'round[00:04:37]
With one foot on my back[00:04:40]
And the other on the rail[00:04:43]
I don't want to see you fall[00:04:46]
I want to see you fail[00:04:49]
I don't want to see you fall[00:04:52]
I want to see you fail[00:04:55]
