Lyrics
Blues At The Acropolis
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.
I'll mourn over the marble steps
Junkies of the world lay across the monuments
I climb and blister on the mount
Drunks take a piss where heroes once bled out
Capital sister, I cry and I blister on the mount
Gods offer beer and hope where heroes once bled out
I got the blues at the acropolis
I kick up dirt
The men stop and hiss
I groan up and down the steps
Junkies of the world draped across the monuments
Capital sister, I cry and then I blister on the mount
I got the blues at the acropolis
I've got the blues at the acropolis
