And so the story goes
They wore the clothes
They said the things to make it seem improbable
The whale of a lie like the hope it was
ย
And the good men tomorrow
Had their feet in the wallow
And their heads are brawned when eyes are shorn
And how they bought their positions with saccharine trust
When the world was asleep to our latent fuss
ย
Saying we swirled through the streets
Like the crust of the sun
The Bewlay Brothers
In our wings that bark
Flashing teeth of brass
Standing tall in the dark
Oh, and we were gone
Hanging out with your dwarf men
We were so turned on
By your lack of conclusions
ย
I was stone, he was wax
So he could scream and still relax, unbelievable
And we frightened the small children away
ย
And our talk was old
And dust would flow through our veins and lo
It was midnight back at the kitchen door
Like the grim face on the cathedral floor
The solid book we wrote cannot be found today
And it was stalking time for the moonboys
The Bewlay Brothers
With our backs on the arch
And the devil may be here
But he can't sing about that
Oh, and we were gone
Real cool traders
We were so turned on
You thought we were fakers
ย
And now the dress is hung, the ticket pawned
The factor max that prove the fact is melted down
Woven on the edging of my pillow
ย
And my brother lays upon the rocks
He could be dead, he could be not, he could be you
He's chameleon, comedian, Corinthian and caricature
Shooting up pie in the sky
Bewlay Brothers
In the feeble, in the bad
Bewlay Brothers
In the blessed and cold
In the crutch-hungry dark
Was where we flayed our mark
Oh, and we were gone
Kings of oblivion
We were so turned on
In the mind-warp pavilion
Lay me place and bake me pie
I'm starving for me gravy
Leave my shoes and door unlocked
I might just slip away, hey
Just for the day, hey
Please come away, hey
Just for the day, hey
Please come away
Please come away, hey
Just for the day, hey
Please come away, hey
Please come away, hey
Please come away
Please come away
Away
Away
