Night of the Long Knives

Hold me on this night of the long knives

Hold me on this night of the long knives

It's coming (Shame about your neighbourhood)

It's coming (Shame about your neighbourhood)

There's a flood on the street, there's a tide and it's coming in now

Yet the concrete burns at the back of your skull

And they're saying it's a wave but it feels like a dribbling now

There's a light bulb flickering but it never goes on

Yes the bomb may be falling

In the lies where you stood

Man I know it's a real big shame about your neighbourhood

I'm the wrong kind of people

Why'd you listen to me?

Just the island of breathing in and out

And it was a long time coming

It was a long time coming

It's coming (Shame about your neighbourhood)

It's coming (Shame about your neighbourhood)

There's a car overturned and it isn't stopping anytime soon

But the front seat sure beats lickin' some toads

And the sparks make the dark uncanny like a living cartoon

What the hell do you mean when you talk about roads?

Yes the bomb may be falling

Vaporized where you stood

Man I know it's a real big shame about your neighbourhood

I'm the wrong kind of people

Why'd you listen to me?

Just the island of breathing in and out

And it was a long time coming

It was a long time coming

It's coming (shame about your neighbourhood)

It's coming (shame about your neighbourhood)

Hold me on this night of the long knives

Hold me on this night of the long knives

I've been dying all my life

I've been dying all my life

I've been dying all my life

I've been dying all my life

It's coming (shame about your neighbourhood)

It's coming (shame about your neighbourhood)

It's coming (it was a long time coming)

It's coming (it was a long time coming)
