In the greyness of the streetlight While the saint within me Watched his creature
A ballet in the neon night Blind on haunches and waiting For some shock, no doubt Paying for his nightlife With his own life
Blind and bleeding And lying by the streetlight Blind outpourings and prayings For the safety of his cell
Is this all it brings you? Is this the place where you escape to? Without your hands upon possessions How naked you are In the greyness of the streetlight
While the saint within me Watched him dying And now he was just so much skin And how she cries
Since you've been gone Hoe, in the night, now She's oh so alone, no doubt
Blind and bleeding And lying by the streetlight Blind outpourings and prayings For the safety of his cell Is this all it brings you?
Is this the place where you escape to? Without your hands on possessions How naked you are These, my friends, my darling souls They are, they are the frozen ones These, my friends, my darling souls They are, they are the frozen ones
Is this all it brings you? Is this the place where you escape to? Without your hands on possessions In the greyness of the streetlight While the saint in me Watched this creature crawl
