Lyrics
I can’t believe it’s finally here.
Just out the door
My golden fears.
I used to thank them
My lucky stars.
But then I ate them
My golden bars.
We wanted nothing
We wanted grace
We wanted saviors
To save our face….
Keep calling Shanghai
And drinking booze
You know there’s nothing left for me to lose.
I’ll take you over
And make you sleep
Inside a haunted house
Where dolls I keep
Are staring blankly
All at the wall
Their eyes are glowing now
Out in the hall.
They want to take you
And make you whole
They want to desecrate
Your very soul
A quick reminder
A throttled goat
The devil’s dying
Just leave a note
My mind is racing
Against the clock
My boat is drifting
Far from the dock
If you believe them
Those little men
Just hold your breath
And Count to ten.
I caught you lying
Right through your teeth
I heard you laughing
When I went pee
You’ve got nothing to say
You’ve got nothing to do
You spent every last penny that you had in the bank
On another fucking case of the flu
Keep calling Shanghai
And drinking booze
You know there’s nothing left for me to lose.
I’ll take you over
And make you sleep
Inside a haunted house
Where dolls I keep
I came to help you
I came to see
I left a woman
I left to pee
It’s all forbidden
Those garbled names
Those tiny ladies
Were all the same.
Catcalled without you
I know my rights
The stinging lamprey
Will take my sight.
I thought I loved you
But now I know
The ghost is wandering
So far from home.
Keep calling Shanghai
And drinking booze
You know there’s nothing left for me to lose.
I’ll take you over
And make you sleep
Inside a haunted house
Where dolls I keep
Are staring blankly
All at the wall
Their eyes are glowing now
Out in the hall
They want to take you
And make you whole
They want to desecrate
Your very soul
