Fatima Mansions - Belong Nowhere lyrics

No dates to miss, no home to phone No face to kiss, no good alone No family, no history, a permenant delinquency No will to smile, no room to cry No time to think Just watch, don't flinch Why yes, that's you in your millionth clinch You murder every time you blink Some flee disasters for their lives You flee the spawn of grubby lies At one with graveyard dust and shipyard rust Too loose to trust You'll heal so much faster if your homeland is your master No dirt-cheap Adriatic sun No heart of gold back of the gun No d**hcamps built for less than fun No white man's bond, no civilization No right to more than birth and d**h from the drivelling drones of the former west Their credo dead like Brezhnev's bones Their headless spears and special malnutrition zones No d**hcamps here, I tell you Just grey convenience hell Ten civil wars unended 'neath billboard signs which yell, "You need someone pretty Someone English and shifty......" CHORUS: Let the dirt cover all, cover all, cover all Let the dirt cover all For it's the mother of us all and our bed when we fall We belong nowhere And by the way, you're dirt! Dirt! You're dirt! Always know your worth as you roam this mirthless earth--You're dirt! Dirt! No sleep, the 'phone, god knows what time Just a wordless click on the end of the line and a thud at the door out back in the dark as some wirehair creature spins 'round the yard Why do you run? Why do you hide? Why do you bruise and then decide? You didn't mean it, you didn't see Well, now you're run to rags and so is she You'll drink the Balkan brandy You will forget your name You will become a captain and you will lose all shame You need someone pretty Someone English and shifty--CHORUS Let the dirt cover all, cover all, cover all Let the dirt cover all From the veil to the shawl From the flirt to the brawl We belong nowhere
