See them sliding through the sun

it's on me all my life

On me all my life

Scalper in the lampglow

scalper on a chair

stick wiped shirt?

and his arm somewhere

Fleur de Lis le wrist is connected

chief of police a la collar -

- bones disconnected

and here you are boy

here you are

and hear the word of the lord

I tip to Bengal

no he tips to Bengal

tips to Burmese

tips Kenyanese

See them sliding through the sun

Scalper in the lampglow

Scalper everywhere

stick wiped shirt?

say something round that shredded dirt

Say Fleur de Lis

Le jaw bone connected

chief of police a la ankles -

- connected

And here you are boy

here you are

here you are boy

here you are

he tips Havanian

tips Abyssinian

here Alaskan

here Corsican

we tip to Russo
