|
Dangle by a single wire, one more time around |
|
Devil dances with Desire, promenade me down |
|
Shame my name, I drank and sang |
|
I kicked my heels up high |
|
In the morning I'd awake |
|
Where I had laid my head at night |
|
|
|
Dangle by a single wire, streets are full in town |
|
Come the ladies and the liars, promenade me down |
|
Now there has always been a railroad running underneath |
|
I have heard it in these fields |
|
And I have seen it in my dreams |
|
|
|
Dangle by a single wire, all is quiet now |
|
So dark the night and cold the hour, promenade me down |
|
Meet me in the field |
|
A trail of blood upon the leaves |
|
There are two moons out tonight |
|
And all the stars are thick as thieves |
|
Now one minute I was sleeping |
|
And the next I was awake |
|
And I was uninvited |
|
But a guest at midnight made |
|
|
|
Dangle by a single wire, ears to hear the sound |
|
Serenade a house on fire, promenade me down |
|
Oh the rabbits in their best furs |
|
And the foxes in long tails |
|
A table set for feasting to a hounds' bloodthirsty wale |
|
And when they came a-running |
|
Everything we'd left behind |
|
Was shattered plates and ashes |
|
And bones for dogs to find |
|
And the train whistle screaming |
|
And the ground, she did quake |
|
And we never had no ticket on the last Promenade |
