Lyrics
Black Castles
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In the street, they're digging holes and in the sinks
They're swilling coal-tar, baby. Feathers stuck on
Poles. They're waiting for the gas man (goo-goo-
Ga-chew!) tube train claims it's fifteenth victim of an
Average week. Ae tripped. a family man with no
Ambition, meek as plastic tulips. He made it to page
53, They wrapped him round a fish and threw him
In the stew (goo-goo-ga-chew.) tuesday, it rained
Glue balls; wednesday morning was the smog.
They moved in on the west side--rubber masks
On. They torched the whole damn lot. the people
Died; they fenced it off. But still te peepos watch
From the top floor of the euro tower. Round and
Round, 12 hours. Fountains. fillet steak, a waiter with
A bow-tie. Oress it, squeeze it, and it spits. oh
Cologne! We smell ok, the o-zone's safe, we
Keep things underground. The sound we hear is
Sweet soul music to the tannoy. Chew your gum and
Close your eyes and nothing can annoy you.
