[Chanting]
Holy man with a pale yellow liver
Crossed my palm on the banks of the river
[Verse 1]
The hands loom heavy with only an hour to go
I hold my breath but the seekers will find me
Priest and pauper, the leper can't change his spots
The King knows, and I know, eh, and everybody knows...
[Chorus](x2)
Spring, sun, winter, dread
I don't want to get older
(No way, no way)
Are those my people or are they barbarians all?
I need a shoulder to talk to about it
Swing the hammer
The fragments (the fragments)
A skull exploding on you, on all you
And showers on the infant's bed
[Chorus] (x4)
Spring, sun, winter, dread
I don't want to get older
(No way, no way)
[Bridge]
You are a thief and a murderer too
Stole the face that you wear from a craven baboon
'Cause you did it to her, and you did it to him
And you did it before and you'll do it again
[Bridge] (x5)
I know it, you are a thief and a murderer too
You stole the face that you wear from a craven baboon
'Cause you did it to her, and you did it to him
And you did it before and you'll do it again
