Lyrics for Corpses In Regalia

From a high window I spied a pale brown thing Though it was very far away I heard its voice inside my head: "You've been spending your time with corpses in regalia Better get to stepping while you can" They have a certain charm The way they move The way they mouth the words Drinking Balthazars Decent people don't live like that Decent folk don't live that good Fools on the beach The sand is little bones Watch where you go Watch where you go Watch where you go They know how to slow time The way they gloam The way they promote the brand Drinking Nebuchadnezzers Decent people don't live like that Decent folk don't live that good Oh, you fools There's teeth in the surf Watch where you go Watch where you go Watch where you go Watch where you go From a high window I spied a pale brown thing Though it was very far away I heard its voice inside my head: "You've been spending your time with corpses in regalia Better get to stepping while you can"
