歌词
Honey leave the lights down
There's killers on the road
They're going door to door
With lamp-like eyes
And the number on your soul
And they're painting down the doorposts
With the darkness of the lamp
And the instruments of mercy
Are falling to their hands
The instruments of mercy
Are falling to their hands
And the sleeper trains go rocking
Through the catalog of night
The darkness by arrangement
The engine is out of sight
And sleep fast are the poor ones
The old ones and the young
They know the scenery is everything
Inside the barrel of a gun
The scenery is everything
Inside the barrel of a gun
And it's all wild waste and welter
Come singing to the bone
And there's no one can give you shelter
From the one thing that you own
And they throw ticker tape on Main Street
There's a hero in every car
Singing down with the traitor
And up with the star
They line up to take the sacrament
When they hear the anthem song
And the scarecrow and the tin man
Place a memory on their tongue
The scarecrow and the tin man
But who will pay the garrison
The city on a hill
Who will stay and be the audience
When everyone's a shill
Every dream is born in waking
Every liar with the truth
The acorn fells the oak tree
Blood is the only proof
The acorn fells the oak tree
Blood is the only proof
So honey leave the lights down
Until I find the door
The truth is like a pearl
Under my tongue
I can't use it anymore
The truth is like a pearl
Under my tongue
I can't use it
The truth is like a pearl
