The Mogul's Wives

歌詞

I am blind and in step With the trout-greased crowd If only for a while And they scheme with Caesarean smiles Who knows how these stunners Shun their lies? Spires on the next estate Spread the whips with the reportage They said, "These vermin go back eat fowl?" "These vermin go back eat fowl?" The barbaric will climb the Empire steps Or clash along the proud blue marches Let physics compound the myth Let physics compound the myth Here are the mogul's wives Authority rests in the nests of these snakes (guitar solo) And the pole, oft-knocked door? Match up the sparks Silly teen-aged dons? Flamenco stilts on a hardwood floor Is it asking too much To ask for more? I was bound in the underground Had to put up, the lays? to tracks But the grave has robbed you of your shine Yes, the grave has robbed you of your shine There they stand with their digits raised Their dry hands are soaked in scales Some wanting without the worth Some wanting without the worth There go the mogul's wives They parade round the square with their hair black in pompadours (guitar solo and coda)
