Last Of The Blacksmiths |
| Who robbed the cradle, who robbed the grave |
| Who’s the one that asked to be saved |
| No, wo-wo-wo no answer came |
| I moved to the country that cried of shame |
| I left my home and found a name |
| No, nobody could explain |
| Have mercy, cried the blacksmith |
| How’re you gonna replace human hands |
| Found guilty, said the judge |
| For not being in demand |
| Frozen fingers at the keyboard |
| Could this be the big reward |
| No, no answer came |
| Brought up everybody to see for themselves |
| They wouldn’t believe it from no one else |
| No, nobody could explain |
| Dead tongue said the poet |
| To the daughter of burlesque |
| Cocteau, Van Gogh and Geronimo |
| They used up what was left |
| Cry wolf, said the martyr |
| I don’t believe I’m alive |
| You’re the hero, said the mute |
| And you’re bound to survive |
