The Brothel Creeper

Through your dull, dark & dire day

While the sun shone all night

You loitered by the lake

And the world kept dreamin' while you walked the world away

Well your body took a battering

Raised your hackles did their heckling rake

It's just a scribe who's on the make

And the world kept dreamin' while he walked the world away

The world kept dreamin', the elements were schemin'

And all the light was blinding you and all the blood was screamin' now

At the top of the stairs...

Now you were headed for the temple tea inn

Now the blood is in the temple

Going have oh, have oh, have oh

Have you been here before?

Before?

Now he doesn't seem to recognize your face

Until you seem to see yourself as in a dream

Moving slowly, every action undertaken

The world kept a-dreamin' while he walked the world away

The world kept a-dreamin' while he walked the world away

And the world kept a-dreamin', the elements were schemin'

All the light was blinding you and all the blood was screamin'

Now lead me to the bed and strip me bare

O lead me to the shower, run the water through my hair

Now heavily and whole as I did lay down

But I won't go there...

Ya

O lead me to the bed and strip me bare

Lead me to the shower, run the water through my hair

Heavily and whole as I did lay down

But I won't go there

But I won't go there

But I won't go there

But I won't go there

At the top of the stairs...
