We've lived in bars And danced on the tables Hotels, trains and ships that sail We swim with sharks And fly with aeroplanes in the air Send in the trumpets The marching wheelchairs Open the blankets and give them some air Swords and arches, bones and cement The light and the dark of the innocence of men We know your house so very well And we will wake you once we've walked up all your stairs There's nothing like living in a bottle And nothing like ending it all for the world We're so glad you have come back
Every living lion will lay in your lap The kid has a homecoming! The champion, the who*es! Who's gonna play drums, guitar or organ with chorus As far as we've walked from both of ends of the sand Never have we caught a glimpse of this man We know your house so very well And we will bust down your door if you're not there We've lived in bars And danced on tables Hotels, trains and ships that sail We swim with sharks And fly with aeroplanes out of here Out of here Out of here Out of here Out of here
