Prominent Men |
Through all of the highways, the byways Ive travelled |
Through all of the sidestreets and alleys of sin |
Through all thats been heard nothing sinks quite as low |
As the prominent statements of prominent men |
Prominent men tell prominent stories |
Prominent men tell prominent lies |
Prominent men kiss the ass of dame fortune |
Prominent men will tear out your eyes |
The streets that have life with the cats underbelly |
Aligned with their tracks of a thousand good-byes |
A poor woman screams with the heat of disaster |
As the prominent men sit and strengthen their ties |
Oh, the prominent girls of the prominent people |
Make prominent dresses and prominent hair |
Oh, their prominent wealth and their eyes blazed with shadow |
The prominent horrors with the ghost millionaire |
The shiny stained window now cracked at sunset |
They shiny red dawn of the heart soon must fall |
This simply occurred at the seat of the cauldron |
Those prominent men hadnt been there at all |
Prominent men tell prominent stories |
Prominent men tell prominent lies |
Prominent men kiss the ass of dame fortune |
Prominent men will tear out your eyes |
Oh, the prominent child of these prominent people |
Seeks prominent schools with the finery of age |
With a prominent pink of a tasteless red orchid |
The prominent men casts a prominent heir |
The child of the agent walks barefoot upon grass |
He screams with a power that terrors green eyes |
His knife harshly glistening, stabs noways and always |
But those prominent men in nowhere in sight |
Prominent men tell prominent stories |
Prominent men tell prominent lies |
Prominent men kiss the ass of dame fortune |
Prominent men will tear out your eyes |
