[00:14.61] And so the story goes they wore the clothes
[00:17.98] They said the things to make it seem improbable
[00:22.99] Whale of a lie like they hope it was
[00:26.08]
[00:30.60] And the good men tomorrow
[00:33.63] Had their feet in the wallow
[00:35.58] And their heads of brawn were nicer shown
[00:38.58] And how they bought their positions
[00:40.26] With saccharin and trust
[00:43.59] And the world was asleep to our latent fuss
[00:50.26] Sighings swirl through the streets
[00:53.61] Like the crust of the sun
[00:55.82] The Bewlay brothers
[00:58.78] In our wings that bark
[01:02.62] Flashing teeth of brass
[01:06.67] Standing tall in the dark
[01:10.17] Ohh, and we were gone
[01:14.45] Hanging out with your dwarf men
[01:18.43] We were so turned on
[01:22.49] By your lack of conclusions
[01:26.64]
[01:35.54] I was stone and he was wax
[01:38.25] So he could scream and still relax, unbelievable
[01:42.97] And we frightened the small children away
[01:51.43] And our talk was old and dust would flow
[01:55.13] Through our veins and though it was midnight
[01:57.24] Back at the kitchen door
[01:59.31] Like the grim face on the cathedral floor
[02:03.10] The solid book we wrote cannot be found today
[02:11.99] And it was stalking time for the moon boys
[02:16.57] The Bewlay brothers
[02:19.53] With our backs on the arch
[02:24.13] And if the Devil may be here
[02:27.65] But he can't sing about that
[02:30.98] Ohh, and we were gone
[02:35.27] Real cool traders
[02:39.53] We were so turned on
[02:43.40] You thought we were fakers
[02:47.86]
[02:56.59] And now the dress is hung, the ticket pawned
[02:58.99] The factor max that proved the fact is melted down
[03:02.88] Woven on the edging of my pillow
[03:12.50] And my brother lays upon the rocks
[03:15.46] He could be dead, he could be not
[03:17.05] He could be you
[03:18.59] He's chameleon, comedian, Corinthian and caricature
[03:25.61] Shooting up pie in the sky
[03:28.12] Bewlay brothers
[03:31.91] In the feeble, in the bad
[03:35.88] Bewlay brothers
[03:39.97] In the blessed and cold
[03:44.25] In the crutch hungry dark
[03:47.63] Was where we flayed our mark
[03:51.26] Ohh and we were gone
[03:55.45] Kings of Oblivion
[03:59.55] We were so turned on
[04:03.44] In the night walk pavilion
[04:06.62]
[04:07.94] Lay me place and bake me pie
[04:12.65] I'm starving for me gravy
[04:16.05] Leave my shoes, and door unlocked
[04:20.28] I might just slip away
[04:25.62] Just for the day
[04:29.51] Please come away
[04:34.04] Just for the day
[04:37.21] Please come away
[04:41.50] Please come away
[04:45.53] Just for the day
[04:49.60] Please come away
[04:53.50] Please come away
[04:57.61] Please come away
[05:01.48] Please come away
[05:05.56] Away
[05:09.74] Away
[05:12.66]
