Graham Parker - OK Hieronymus lyrics

I break a heart in a thousand places, she makes a slur against other races He rejects all of the unpretty faces, sticks them full of knives I take a shot at birds flying south, he takes the gun barrel into his mouth, She takes a rope and ties up the house, with the kids inside; They just want to curl right up and die Them and us are only pa**ing by Hey Hieronymous - I know where your garden grows I know where your bloody roses bloom Hey Hieronymous - tell me what delights there are Right outside this window or inside this room Just taste the odor of burning skin, the pitchfork tongues and the rot within The torture victim's wiped-out grin nothing can erase Somebody's pouring salt on a wound, scooping out monkey's brains with a spoon Working on warfare up on the moon, that's the latest phase; We just want to curl right up and die You and me are only pa**ing by Hey Hieronymous - I know where your garden grows I know where your bloody roses bloom Hey Hieronymous - tell me what delights there are Right outside this window or inside this room Germans and turks and English nerks spew out of doorways going beserk Inside of everyone someone lurks, they don't even know. Bring them all in, yeah, they're welcome here You can't sell your work? - then cut off your ear Put it right on the table there, all tied up in bows Hey Hieronymous - I know where your garden grows I know where your bloody roses bloom Hey Hieronymous - tell me what delights there are Right outside this window or inside this room
