Mordred

Downtown

Mordred


Now that I'm feeling downtown 
Like never before 
Now that I'm folding my fingers 
Ready for war 
The painted face of disaster 
I search for more 

I light another cigarette 
Swallow the poison glossy eyed 
Dressed in fire with empty words 
It came as no surprise 

The people conversating 
Beyond all will to listen 
The people will stand in lines 
With great high walls between them 

Coal black hair china white doll skull 
With amber slit eyes 
Bittersweet with a razor tongue 
See through polished lies 
The dim light is bathing you blood red 
Adrenalin shock 

I light another cigarette 
Swallow the poison glossy eyed 
Dressed in fire with empty words 
It came as no surprise 

The people conversating 
Beyond all will to listen 
The people will stand in lines 
With great high walls between them 

Looking through star dust illusions with faraway eyes 
Pretending they know and understand 
See through the disguise 

I light another cigarette 
Swallow the poison glossy eyed 
Dressed in fire with empty words 
It came as no surprise 

The people conversating 
Beyond all will to listen 
The people will stand in lines 
With great high walls between them
