THE BLOOD BROTHERS LYRICS

"Wolf Party"

Those wolf mechanics,

Those wolf mechanics



Today you beat the fortune teller

To death with your bare hands

Was it his smirk laugh,

or the ostrich feather taped to his purple hat?

He read the lines on your palm,

Chanting a creole song,

"It is soon you will die, and angels don't take bribes."



Don't linger on the skylight you smashed between his skull

Just run back to the alley,

And tell jokes to the bricks and rats

Because one man's murder scene is another's champagne party,

One man's splintered spine is a soldier's war decoration



Wolf mechanics, flare up again

As you make your way back to the financial district

The subway is a numb field

And every dazed boy and girl makes you lick your lips

The girl with the accordion, chewing grass like a lamb,

She hands you the juicy eye,

And then she laughs at your pathetic tie



But don't linger on the grin you gouged in her throat

Just take the subway home

But the wife and kids twinkle like stuffed dogs

You're like the stormy ocean now,

Collecting death like driftwood



Those wolf mechanics banging,

Those wolf mechanics crashing

[x2]



But one man's suicide is a credit company's bride,

One man's poisoned mind is a pharmaceutical gold mine

You bring your kill from the savannah and bake it in the sun, but

The heat warps its flesh and you see the face of God in the tarry mess, and,



Those wolf mechanics banging,

Those wolf mechanics crashing

[x2]
