Crows on the Scaffold

[Verse 1]
She said "Hey Preacherman, I picked you out a lover
And what I mean is for you two to have each other"
Might stand by the window
Listen to the dissonant bells

[Verse 2]
Ain't it just like her with a letter from my mother
Naming foreign parts she wants me to discover
Turn the light out, Sparkle
Dark like your occult uncle

[Chorus]
I don’t wanna walk a road so travelled
Gonna hang here with the crows on the scaffold

[Verse 3]
She said, hey Loverboy, I think I caught you sleeping
And little wonder with the company you're keeping
Half the way I came
Halfway through thе game
Halfway sick on your reputation, glitter and famе

[Verse 4]
You better, Babydoll, be eating up your cabbage
Don't know no other bro could come and do your damage
Those crazies, God save me
Fiddle a bit, loosen up
Live a little baby

[Chorus]
Got faith like she won it in a raffle
Big it up under the crows on the scaffold

[Post-Chorus]
The doctors made me crazy
Don’t you know that they hate me, hate me?

[Verse 5]
You saw right
It's alright
Make sure you shut the door tight
I think the answer's this
Dangerous
Amorous pythoness
It ain't that we could stop the planet
Can't be any worse now can it

[Verse 6]
Maybe later on we'll go where no one knows ya
Big sacrifices and a bag of that ambrosia
The fascist bastards insist
On a baptist gang
On a slapped wrist
Hard to function when they're puncturing your lumber
And those pornographers have really got your number
Forgive me!
Outlive me!
Live a bit and loosen up
And be a little with me

[Chorus]
Before they load us on a truck like cattle
Pretty slim picking for the crows on the scaffold

[Outro]
When there's one last battle
All the bones gonna rattle
With the crows on the scaffold
Going down, down, down
Going home
