should we actually surrender? wait, did we accidentally surrender already?
you’re politely
making your demands
in the shadow of a mountain of trash
and the poison surely tastes like sugar
as it’s dripping from your outstretched hands
we ask how the devil doesn’t know
all this pageantry is just for show
you must trade this folly and fortune
but your lover she must never know
and i don’t even know your name
in the shadow of this grave
i will ask you for a favor, just a favor
why’re you messing with the disco kids?
let them fall in line with the torture
through the fire shouting out their bids
how you love them love them
now the sun keeps beating down
on this swollen grave of a town
you must trade your folly and fortune
and then never bring your lover round
and i don’t even know your name
in the shadow of this grave
i shall ask you for a favor,
just a favor
and i don’t even know the way
i don’t even know your name
in the shadow of this grave
it is time to politely surrender
in the shadow of a mountain of trash
and the poison dripping from your fingers…
do you even really have to ask?
and what shall become of the disco kids?
laying down roots to their nylon cocoons
riding escalators as they spin their sugar poison
for lovers unmet
and they wonder
where have all the spider women gone?
why do they no longer clamber down the walls
asking for a kiss and a fatal wish?
