It's the changing of the guards, straight from mailbox to alarms and the kitty cats did scream

oh how they howled behind the house - well the big one laying in the frying pan

talk around the town is you've been listening

you cover it up just as fast as you

can cause you're trying to keep it from growing and getting big



And they will all be heirs to their own thrones and old homes

without a downtown to grow old in or a son to telephone.

And either side of paper is erupting a snake your pulling trains to Oakland in the pouring rain

well every drop will count when they tally it up

and you always learned a lot from the deep end of faith.



The kids were pushing their fingers through tarmac on pavement

the lightning was breathing in faces

and either side of paper is erupting a snake were pulling trains to Oakland in the pouring rain

well every drop will count when they tally it up

and you always learned a lot from the deep end of faith

and you worry yourself sick
