Kebabylon

I see through your swagger I sweep up your sickness I find what is lost and thrown away I stoop for your secrets I bend for your blood I kill corruption so it lives another day I'm a wallflower in the darkness In fireproof clothes Undercover, undervalued, underpaid I ride the edges and the cracks I see behind the curtain I am invisible, I am your moonlight maid Sifting through the streets of Kebabylon Chasing down the ghosts of indiscretion and lust These empty filthy streets are where I belong Down among the devilrey, turning to dust And you're already dreaming As I claw up your condom As your siringe cracks underneath my boot You've crashed on the couch I stay out on the porch Such a lover, such a liar, such a brute And with the evidence destroyed Your sleep will be sound I'm your angel, your accomplice and look what I found Sifting through the streets of Kebabylon Chasing down the ghosts of indiscretion and lust The empty filthy streets are where I belong Down among the devilrey, turning to dust So join me on the streets of Kebabylon We can find a story for the ages tonight These empty filthy streets are where I belong Always trying hard to outrun the light --- Kebabylon - Arab Strap
