The Prophet

There's fire in her eyes in the altercation
She blames her poverty on her parents generation
She says they sniffed it up their nose
now they want our payments
Its ******* cold in here
the landlord's trying to make us vagrants
And Jack our whiskey buddy hits him with an iron fist
The landlord goes down swinging
while you drink your buddy's piss
I don't know what to do now
that I'm definitely on a list
I just sit back
drink brew with Coca-Cola communists
I'm glad you came and turned up next to me
Like a grenade with a pin out at the party
You're like a ******* hurricane next to me
There's fire on the fringe whittle them down, down, down
I think she lost her looks to the beauty and terror
She says her friends are ******
and in the fairest of weather
She asked me is it painless
am I humouring the brainless
Being young and drunk
and all ****** up and being in entertainment
I don't ask the questions
I don't write the rules
I'm up for suggestions
I will follow you through
It can't be any worse than what I've been up to
It can't be any worse than what I've been up to
I'm glad you came and turned up next to me
Like a grenade with a pin out at the party
You're like a ******* hurricane next to me
There's fire on the fringe whittle them down, down, down
I don't know what it is that you're doing to me
I haven't cracked a smile since '93
She says a pretty dull, dull place to be
No **** Sherlock, shoot them down, down, down
I don't ask the questions
I don't write the rules
I'm up for suggestions
I will follow you through
It can't be any worse than what I've been up to
It can't be any worse than what I've been up to
I don't ask the questions
I don't write the rules
I'm up for suggestions
I will follow you through
It can't be any worse than what I've been up to
It can't be any worse than what I've been up to
[Chorus]
I'm glad you came and turned up next to me
Like a grenade with a pin out at the party
You're like a ******* hurricane next to me
There's fire on the fringe whittle them down, down, down
I don't know what it is that you're doing to me
I haven't cracked a smile since '93
She says a pretty dull, dull place to be
No **** Sherlock, shoot them down, down, down
Down down down down down down down down
