The Brothel Creeper

Lyrics for The Brothel Creeper

Through your dull, dark & dire day While the sun shone all night You loitered by the lake And the world kept dreamin' while you walked the world away Well your body took a battering Raised your hackles did their heckling rake It's just a scribe who's on the make And the world kept dreamin' while he walked the world away The world kept dreamin', the elements were schemin' And all the light was blinding you and all the blood was screamin' now At the top of the stairs... Now you were headed for the temple tea inn Now the blood is in the temple Going have oh, have oh, have oh Have you been here before? Before? Now he doesn't seem to recognize your face Until you seem to see yourself as in a dream Moving slowly, every action undertaken The world kept a-dreamin' while he walked the world away The world kept a-dreamin' while he walked the world away And the world kept a-dreamin', the elements were schemin' All the light was blinding you and all the blood was screamin' Now lead me to the bed and strip me bare O lead me to the shower, run the water through my hair Now heavily and whole as I did lay down But I won't go there... Ya O lead me to the bed and strip me bare Lead me to the shower, run the water through my hair Heavily and whole as I did lay down But I won't go there But I won't go there But I won't go there But I won't go there At the top of the stairs...
