I in my longing fly out in the night
unveiled and irreverently dressed
Im lip-stuck and liquored up- picking a fight
Im the wicked wicked witch of the west
over the alleyways, backward and blind
and the sad and insatiable sprawl
over the marketplace, darkly defined
his desert is sounding a call
he was a businessman twenty-five years
when the angel appeared with his orders
I am making you mine, my divine volunteer
and Im flying you over the border
and he cant recall where it all fell apart
was it north of medina or south?
where the prophecy ends and the politics start
where the weapon went into his mouth
Bridge
and everyones sleeping, and hes flying out
and no one can keep him down now
(Instrumental, Same Chords Verse)
the morning delivers the news to my door
of my presidents war in the east
but he doesnt tell me and I dont know whos
in the belly and who is the beast
when theres no place to run to, when theres no place to hide
it wont matter whose side you are on
like the bomb in the basement we couldnt stop if we tried
and it wont be long, and it wont be long, and it wont be long...
