Intro

Something kind of hit me today, I looked at you and

Wondered if you saw things my way

People will hold us to blame

 It hit me today, it hit me today

 We're taking it hard all the time

 Why don't we pass it by, just reply you've changed your mind

 We're fighting with the eyes of the blind

Taking it hard, taking it hard, yet now

 We feel that we are paper, choking on you nightly

 They tell me son, we want you, be elusive, but don't walk far

 For we're breaking in the new boys, deceive your next of kin

 For you're dancing where the dogs decay, defecating ecstasy

 You're just an ally of the leecher

 Locator for the virgin King, but I love you in your fuck me pumps

 And your nimble dress that trails

 Oh, dress yourself, my urchin one, for I hear them on the rails

 Because of all we've seen, because of all we've said

We are the dead

One thing kind of touched me today

 I looked at you and counted all the times we had laid

Pressing our love through the night

Knowing it's right, knowing it's right

Now I'm hoping some one will care

 Living on the breath of a hope to be shared

Trusting on the sons of our love

 That someone will care, someone will care, but now

 We're today's scrambled creatures, locked in tomorrow's double feature

Heaven's on the pillow, its silence competes with hell

 It's a twenty four hour service, guaranteed to make you tell

 And the streets are full of press men

 Bent on getting hung and buried

 And the legendary curtains are drawn round Baby Bankrupt

 Who sucks you while you're sleeping

 It's the theater of financiers

 Count them, fifty round a table

White and dressed to kill

 Oh caress yourself, my juicy

 For my hands have all but withered

 Oh dress yourself my urchin one, for I hear them on the stairs

 Because of all we've seen

Because of all we've said

We are the dead

We are the dead

We are the dead
