The Hair Shirt

(álbum: The Birthday Party - 1980)

Halls echo with the sounds of his footsteps
Water drip drops from the ceiling
Shadow of a bird
Race! Race! Race! Race! Race! Race!
Race to the door and see what's scratching
Groaning Walls did they hear you?
Hair of the dog, hair of the dog, hair of the dog

Turning purple is the colour of murder
Turning purple is the colour of murder
Turning purple is the colour of murder
Turning purple is the colour of murder

What's in your eye?
Said what size?
Left, right, left, right, left, right, left, right
What's in your eye?
Said what size?
Left, right, left, right, left, right, left, right

Halls echo with the sounds of his footsteps
Water drip drops from the ceiling
Shadow of a bird
Race! Race! Race! Race! Race! Race!
Race to the door and see what's scratching
Groaning Walls did they hear you?
Hair of the dog, hair of the dog, hair of the dog

Turning purple is the colour of murder
Turning purple is the colour of murder
Turning purple is the colour of murder
Turning purple is the colour of murder

What's in your eye?
Said what size?
Left, right, left, right, left, right, left, right
Eyes? Size? (left right)

Race! Race! Race! Race! Race! Race! etc
Turning purple is the colour of murder
Turning purple is the colour of murder
Turning purple is the colour of murder
Turning purple is the colour of murder
