Insight 23 - Dying In The Alley lyrics

With s** on my mind and salt on my tongue Blood in my eyes and sand in my lungs The money-dipped crucifix will come to me And spill all my dreams, one by one, into reality The lion man has won and a victim lie dead Now there's no more gasoline for us to peel the scalp from his head So we'll have to use the alcohol to disinfect Such a bloody mess, such a bloody mess Salt on my tongue burns my skin The blood in our eyes won't heal my victim's head So I do it again, do it again Salt on the tongue burns my skin The blood in our eyes won't heal my victim's head So I do it again, one more time And I won't feel Fool's holiday, no money made They're dying in the alley, so who will keep us safe? Who'll keep safe to breathe, keep us safe to sleep? Who'll keep us well-protected in case decadence wakes the beast? On a fool's holiday there's no money made Look who's dying in the alleyway, so who will keep us safe? Who'll keep us safe behind doors, safe out on the streets? They're dying in the alley and decadence is the beast Salt on my tongue burns my skin The blood in our eyes won't heal my victim's head So I do it again, do it again One more time, I'm gonna do it again Salt on my tongue burns my skin The blood in our eyes won't heal my victim's head So I do it again, do it again One more time, I'm gonna do it again And I won't feel Sex is my answer to questions I fear And lost is an a**istant to me, keeps everything clear (so clear) Who gives a f** if I'm wrong? I'm not the only one who's scared Amphetamine dive off the late night scene Right into a pool of vomit, smack-covered kerosene Fool's holiday, there's no money made Look who's dying in the alley, will anyone keep us safe? On a fool's holiday, fool's holiday, fool's holiday, fool's holiday Someone keep us straight We unleashed the desert so the dogs would disappear The sand has gone to process itself close enough for us to hear it In the wind we understand there's no such thing as turbo asthma But sometimes we just begin to cough, cough, cough, cough and cough and cough
