Wont you follow me
Down here next to me
darkness clutches thee

Down here in the dark where the pain is real
Where hearts do naught but blink and fade
Where all the good intentions become jade
Sitting here on a road hard paved
Here the devils pipes are calling my names
Yet all i do is sit and watch the parade
And a hundred camels sliping through one eye
A baker, a butcher, a soldier, a priest
All walking in line, more meat for the beast

Should i walk with the souls of woe
Their faces are down and they've so far to go
Or should i stay still and picnic here
As i have have done for so many a year
Merely watch the cues building up at the door
take a seat here and relax
I doubt theres one more
So I will sit here a little longer, i think
Feeling that heat from afar
Cooking my sausages on the fires
that are bursting from the floor


To take a lot of pain,
take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud,
holds a lot of rain
