Murder In The Big House |
When did you last look up in the sky? |
Really look at the sky and wonder? |
Used to be you could see forever |
Now there’s cracks in the canvas we’re under |
This is the sound of the rooftop coming down |
This ain’t a murder mystery |
This is the sound of the four walls falling in |
This is the stench of recent history |
This house is crumbling |
This property is condemned |
This housw is crumbling |
Who’ll say the last amen? |
All of us Neros fanning ourselves |
Damp with the sweat of regret |
Just killing time with our eyes to the skies |
Waiting on |
Science our saviour |
This is the sound of your rooftop coming down |
It’s time to meet the maker |
This is the sound of the floorboards caving in |
This is the knock of the undertaker |
This house is crumbling |
This property is condemned |
This house is crumbling |
Who’ll say the last amen? |
A child takes a crayon and draws a black rainbow |
Over a city where nobody is |
What are they thinking, these small minded people? |
That they can decode words on the wall? |
This is the sound of the world coming down |
This is the sex of history |
This is the sound of the big house caving in |
This is the fiction of joy and misery |
This house is crumbling |
Thisproperty is condemned |
This house is tumbling down |
Who’ll say the last amen? |
Amen |
Amen |
Amen |
