lyrics

Thieves knitting stockings from the hair of the poor
For a flesh-covered scarecrow filled with blood-soaked straw
He's out begging bread for the souls of the dead
With his black felt hat and his pipe of lead

He set me to work in his factory
Among his army of mechanical elves
I can't understand the things that we make
They just whisper to themselves and we never get a break

Thieves knitting stockings from the hair of the poor
For a flesh covered scarecrow filled with blood-soaked straw
A wanderer above a sea of mist
Stood on the zenith of a sky that’s never been kissed

The gilded youth all sink like stones
Little fishies make temples from their salt-white bones
Beneath the beach is the pavement, 'neath the pavement only sky
Which is filled to the brim with a giant eye

In an offshore haven where I ceased to desist
Lost the pride of our fleet trying to sink the egg ships
While miniature minotaurs run through the outlet stores
With winter sun brochures clutched tight in foaming jaws
