The Killing Season |
The killing season it’s beginning |
I feel your hands around my throat |
You either lose, or come up winnings |
I wear my old grey overcoat |
Now paint it mary, paint it black |
Tonight they hang Jerry |
Tonight they hang Jack |
When this killing season’s over |
I’ll never say your name again |
And if I smell the perfume of, the perfume of your blood |
I know it’s just the incense, incense of my drug |
Do you hear the children speaking backwards? |
Their bodies float above the bed |
Who sings a song that isn’t sung |
My soul’s in traction |
Cops and criminals, and all that crawl get into action |
Smelling the incense of, the perfume of your blood |
Smelling the incense of, the perfume of my drug |
The brick and mortar start to pound |
A powder in the air like anthrax |
Brought six white horses down |
When this cold dark night is over |
There ain’t nobody left around |
Now paint it mary, paint it black |
Tonight they hang Jerry |
Tonight they hang Jack |
And when this fever dream has ended |
I’ll never come this way again |
The killing season, it’s beginning |
Skeletal hands are on my throat |
Somebody will lose somebody’s winnings |
I wear my old grey overcoat |
I wear my old grey overcoat |
