Marlow

Lyrics for Marlow

The simplest story, and, If you stay home and watch this on television, uh, you'll s- It'll be told again and again and again and nobody, every, ever- Nobody ever gets tired of this story. I call it "Man in a Hole", But it needn't be about a man in a hole Somebody gets into trouble, gets out of it again Ah, ha ha World gettin' warmer, we goin' the other way World gettin' warmer, we goin' the other way World gettin' warmer, we goin' the other way Colors fade and bleed, a carousel of grey New Years Day in Maine, weep for a working vein Wonderin' the nerve it take to lay under lurchin' waves Leapin' in praise, spittle sprays The preacher overstays the pulpit We shoulda stayed in caves, wailin' at the sepulchers The hunted draws vultures, a sea of mea culpas Hollowed out the culture, crawled inside Skinwalker, they cast me out the tribe Inkatha Freedom Party, I caught a vibe Amidst the revelry Black Orpheus caught Death's eye They killed it just to see it die Don't believe they lies Ivan Ilyich naggin' pain in my side Laugh in yiddish Think in Kitchen English Grimace, hunchbacked at the chemist Gregor Samsa in the bed Family's wishin' this ugly business was finished But you laughin' instead You got plenty of meds You orderin' movies with ya spiny legs splayed Antennae spread, blind eyes twistin' out ya head And the smell of rotted apples World gettin' warmer, we goin' the other way World gettin' warmer, we goin' the other way World gettin' warmer, we goin' the other way World gettin' warmer, we goin' the other way
