[00:01.11] | Mistreat me darling and I might just disappear |
[00:05.29] | |
[00:08.12] | Upon freighter running dark out of Algiers |
[00:12.20] | |
[00:14.85] | Put tiny grains in children's tears |
[00:19.91] | |
[00:21.89] | While taking 25% of all the flashbulbs and mementoes |
[00:28.52] | |
[00:29.03] | From the mechanized divisions rolling over your frontiers |
[00:35.20] | |
[00:35.73] | I saw my baby talking to a man today |
[00:40.42] | |
[00:43.39] | Speaking softly in a confidential way |
[00:47.83] | |
[00:49.59] | I saw a shadow pull his glove off |
[00:55.63] | |
[00:57.51] | As a bluebird flew over |
[01:00.60] | Life's is no pleasure |
[01:01.83] | |
[01:02.90] | When you doubt the one you love |
[01:05.21] | |
[01:08.36] | Who are all these strangers |
[01:12.40] | |
[01:14.98] | I never will go back again |
[01:19.62] | |
[01:21.69] | Go back into the past |
[01:23.50] | |
[01:24.86] | The flood is rising fast |
[01:27.05] | |
[01:30.43] | You can break your window and look down |
[01:33.78] | |
[01:37.01] | Into a muddy glass |
[01:39.27] | |
[01:40.29] | For it's mirror or lens to burn |
[01:44.40] | |
[01:47.70] | There was a deal done in Benghazi and Belgrade |
[01:53.22] | |
[01:55.48] | Upon a scimitar or other crooked blade |
[02:00.16] | |
[02:02.20] | Ransacks and loots vacated suits |
[02:07.54] | |
[02:10.47] | And pistol points but never shoots |
[02:14.06] | Army sitting in a locomotive yard without their boots |
[02:22.28] | |
[02:24.48] | Upstairs your man is painting the rain out in the street |
[02:29.38] | |
[02:31.98] | Imagines woman that he's destined still to meet |
[02:36.73] | |
[02:39.01] | He's trying sidetrack one to count on |
[02:44.91] | |
[02:46.75] | Caught somewhere between countess or a courtesan |
[02:52.38] | And it's only love to feign and then it's gone |
[02:56.67] | |
[02:57.77] | Who are all these strangers |
[03:02.57] | |
[03:06.37] | He's a privateer as dusk gets near |
[03:10.14] | |
[03:11.58] | A brigand after dark his victim lined with chalk |
[03:17.29] | |
[03:20.77] | A corsair filled with horsehair to the core |
[03:24.89] | |
[03:27.99] | Dashed on your eyes of adamantine |
[03:30.36] | |
[03:31.47] | You despised his stripling whine |
[03:34.57] | |
[03:38.63] | That little smudger and the mouthpiece that he's with |
[03:44.06] | |
[03:46.04] | Using his clause just like a practised fingersmith |
[03:51.10] | |
[03:53.58] | I dreamed I took his digit prints |
[03:59.02] | |
[04:01.14] | And then I sewed them on a villain's hands |
[04:04.99] | |
[04:05.86] | Watched him ransom and demand |
[04:08.26] | |
[04:09.47] | Until called the flatfoots in |
[04:13.12] | |
[04:16.30] | I never will go back again |
[04:20.76] | |
[04:22.58] | Go back into the past |
[04:24.49] | |
[04:26.31] | The flood is rising fast |
[04:28.83] | |
[04:32.19] | You can break your window and look down |
[04:35.72] | |
[04:38.95] | Into a muddy glass |
[04:41.15] | |
[04:42.26] | For it's a mirror or lens to burn |
[04:46.08] | |
[04:49.93] | Who are all these strangers |
[04:55.06] | |
[04:59.02] | All these strangers |
[05:04.17] | |
[05:07.24] | Sat down on a narrow bed |
[05:09.71] | |
[05:11.32] | Thought about the things she said |
[05:13.84] | |
[05:14.81] | All these strangers |
[05:20.23] | |
[05:22.97] | How I wished the night would never end |
[05:26.14] | |
[05:27.00] | Tried to stop the days ahead |
[05:29.80] | I'd carve her name down in the wood |
[05:33.20] | |
[05:34.25] | Some small remembrance if I could |
