Orpheus |
I heard that your Orpheus he done left town |
Snuck out the back way while you slept face down |
Bound for the underworld he rolled down his wool sleeves |
And like a serpent coiled about the wet leaves |
Tennessee waltzing a dance of disease |
Can’t you see |
Pick up your shears Delilah right there |
Leave all your cares to fall like dead hair |
Outside a carriage waits to take you home |
Its tricky handbrake will not hold out for long |
Do hop inside for your map it has been drawn |
Can’t you see |
What leads you |
What leads you |
What leads you |
What leads |
Pickin' the mandrake I would use for tea |
I heard the water spirits calling me |
And faintly a peacock cried behind the tulles |
Can’t you see |
That when you feel it tickle your brain |
Filling your skull’s bowl with a butane |
Maybe the genie wants back in the lamp |
He’s run out of wishes and his clothes are all damp |
Back to the bottle though he knows just how cramped |
That can be |
What leads you |
What leads you |
What leads you |
What leads you |
What is it now now |
What is it |
What is it |
What is it now |
What is it now now |
What leads |
Well what leads you |
What leads you now now now |
Down down down |
Down down down down down |
What leads you |
