Holding council with the king and queen
trying hard to decide the fate of Mary Jean
there's only one needed to complete the communard
and that's a man with a voice like a scraping violin
waiting for Mr.damage

To the first doors come a male-a-calling
"stop the person bribing five spanish from the
window up above"
students are proposing to study disarray
but the searcher's markings' openly displayed
waiting for Mr. damage

Mr. damage  --  walks through the doors of the sacrifial church
Mr. damage  --  meets you in the lobby and then leaves you in the lurch
Mr. damage  --  stands at the altar serving out the search
all the faithful follow

Resident wino stumbling and lurching
walking cadavers smiling and searching
man in the DT's honking at the people
'cos he won't take the oblong and celebrated people
waiting for Mr. damage

Trying hard just to keep the lit
a leather flyer leaves the subway anxious to admit
that the marvelled one so recently deposed was seen
three days later in a brand new suit of clothes
a brand new suit of clothes for a very special day
a brand new suit of clothes for a very special day
a very special day, a very special, a very very
very special day
