Burlesque Choir from Cannibal Animals by The Gustav Railway Band

Lyrics:

Be on your best behavior
A year of judges will swallow you whole
She is a girl in a burlesque church choir
In holy rows of corn we grow

And in the pews, lay me down
Like a bright creatic crown
And every time they find a body
It will be mine

And I don’t care for anyone
My hands are gone like snakes into the tall grass
(Where have they gone?)
Where I’m hiding
From dogs wearing pagan masks
(Where have they gone?)
There is a chapel in an old town; it’s burned down
And the ashes form a letter
(Where have they gone?)
It reads, mary, and joseph, and jehovah
A man should outlive his enemies
(Where have they gone?)
What do you need

I remember the shape of your face
The way the light played off of your eyes
Quote your rules to me
And carry me below the church

In your arms like a martyr
Draped in blood red cloth hanging loose
Like a burial shroud
Over a capillarian youth

And I don’t care for anyone
My hands are gone like snakes into the tall grass
(Where have they gone?)
Where I’m hiding
From dogs wearing pagan masks
(Where have they gone?)
There is a chapel in an old town; it’s burned down
And the ashes form a letter
(Where have they gone?)
It reads, mary, and joseph, and jehovah
A man should outlive his enemies
(Where have they gone?)
What do you need

A man should outlive his enemies
(Where have they gone?)
A man should outlive his enemies
(Where have they gone?)
A man should outlive his enemies
(Where have they gone?)
A man should outlive his enemies
(Where have they gone?)
