From the recording Mysterious Skin
Lyrics
IS IT SOMETHING I CAN HELP YOU WITH? Talk about love talk about television talk about go organised religion Talk about politics communist socialist socialise you’re not on the list Hold on to the information The one about the new beginning the one they said we were winning Love life hate and death Cast your thoughts and count what’s left There a vulture in the sky that’s going to wait until its dark First he’ll take your eyes then tear you right apart Some say the west was won others claim that it was forced upon It’s so far away from home We’re going down a burning hole It’s such wait such a ride It’s such a long way round Past the border past the guard and to the other side Take the derv take the match and burn it down We’ll never be caught we’ll never be found Is it something I can help you with? You’re so tired honey of being around the same old people that keep you down It’s such wait such a ride It’s such a long way round Past the border past the guard and to the other side Take the derv take the match and burn it down We’ll never be caught we’ll never be found The blood is on the carpet and its dripping from the walls It’s a one way ticket it’s a one way fall They’ll leave you in the street in your own pool of blood I’d like to help but I’ve got to beat the rush Don’t listen to the news don’t listen to the eyes Don’t listen to the heart because you know its paralysed Listen to the policy of another set of lies Open call for tyranny self-destruction marketing electioneer domineer I can tell that you’re not there Love alone test for fears a dead mans and a fusilier Evangelists and pacifists come on in and use your fists Communications multi media a place where no one’s please to meet you It’s such wait such a ride It’s such a long way round Past the border past the guard and to the other side Take the derv take the match and burn it down We’ll never be caught we’ll never be found Is it something I can help you with? You’re so tired honey of being around the same old people that keep you down It’s such wait such a ride It’s such a long way round Past the border past the guard and to the other side Take the derv take the match and burn it down We’ll never be caught we’ll never be found
