On The Streets I Ran
(专辑: Ringleader Of The Tormentors - 2006)
Oh a
working-class face glares back At me from the
glass and lurches "Oh forgive me, on the
streets I
ran Turned sickness into popular song" Streets of wet-black holes On roads you can never know You never have them but they always have you Till the
day that you croak It's no joke Oh a
working-class face glares back At me from the
glass and lurches "Oh forgive me on the
streets I
ran Turned sickness into unpopular song" And all these streets can do Is claim to know the
real you And warn: "if you don't leave, you will kill or be killed" Which isn't very nice Here, everybody's friendly But nobody's friends Oh dear God, when will I
be where I
should be? And when the
palmist said: "One Thursday you will be dead" I
said: "No, not me, this cannot be Dear God, take him, take them, take anyone The
stillborn The
newborn The
infirm Take anyone Take people from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Just spare me!"
