Turkish Song of the Damned (with Joe Strummer) |
I come old friend from hell tonight |
Across the rotting sea |
Nor the nails of the Cross |
Nor the blood of Christ |
Can bring you help this eve |
The dead have come to |
Claim a debt from thee |
They stand outside your door |
Four score and three |
Did you keep a watch for a dead man’s wind |
Did you see the woman with the comb in her hand |
Wailing away on the wall on the strand |
As you danced to the Turkish song of the damned |
You remember when the ship went down |
You left me on the deck |
The captain’s corpse jumped up |
And threw his arms around my neck |
For all these years I’ve had him on my back |
This debt cannot be paid with all your jack |
And as I sit and talk to you I see your face go white |
This shadow hanging over me |
Is no trick of the light |
The spectre on my back will soon be free |
The dead have come to claim |
A debt from thee |
