Clutch (band) - Minotaur lyrics

In a city of crooked alleys Crookeder women and wicked men Dim lamps in the rumor mill Suspicious kith and unkind kin Haruspectre General Sleeping soldiers in the field Below the elders conspire To turn the merciless and ma**ive wheel Strange cousins from the west overstay their welcome Locked in among skeletons Broken hearted and damned Sorry to have to break it to you friend But life seldom goes exactly as we plan Strange cousins from the west overstay their welcome Peculiar manner and strange dress Who will ever dare to tell them? The city's always thriving Hungry bellows of the Minotaur Everyday more are arriving And everyday it requires more Unexpected circumstance We must not delay You have all been so very very kind to us And we will return the favor one day Fate is the idiot's excuse! Freedom is the s**er's dream! But we hope you find some measure of comfort In considering us to be your family Strange cousins from the west overstay their welcome Peculiar manner and strange dress Who will ever dare to tell them?
