Sorry, busy being a king
Suck the guts out the city leaving the skin
You ain't my lover, you're Billie Jean, you're a fling
You're a piglet in East London with skinny jeans and a trim
I had every statue in the square mile sobbing
The rust covered their eyes like bubbles of blood clotting
As I occupied the basement bar in the burning building
And sat at the back, mumbling wondering who's shotting
Better act right
Flies all drowning in my flat white
My skull gets heavy but I pack light
See you on the runway, you're in for a bad flight
God is on your stairwell polishing a crack pipe
Turn it up babe, it's a rerun
These ice cold streets got your feet numb
I've been taking heads off, holla if you need one
Careful with the stitches
Tell 'em every trip back to my city is fought with the same dangers
Little Timmy arrives with a bag of them game changers
Spikes a glass of red with a couple of haymakers
And you come to in the brothel and run for the day later
We all been there
Set up camp, fought a battle, lost a limb there
Came back swinging, I ran for office
I'm counting on your support, you better all have your wallets
We skitter round to the back with a bucket and drank the profits
So meet my reality star friend
We watch 'em all die, just glad that we aren't them
He screamed "All hail humanity, amen" as he
Sat and bit the head off a battery farmed hen
'Cause shit can all change at an uncomfortable pace
In Gatwick blinded by lights, lugging a case
And it hit me
Shush, they're all undercovers, G
Evil hags keeping tabs on your drug intake
Elderly women with guns at their waistband for you
Stared down from the balcony, firing until their hands are blue
Tears fell from the ceiling, we sat back and we drank a few
Holding a rubber mask without a face to attach it to
Wind up dolls
And little toy cars
And frilly white bibs
Lacking any scars
My skin's got too many sharp edges
Intruders skewered on barbed fences
Your brain slumbers on too many park benches
Can't see you in these dark trenches
We tore their eyes out calmly and fed the lions
You built your line up nicely and fed your clients
I'll be at departures nursing a Martini
And my bag just contains a selection of Red Hawaiians
Legionnaire with a gun and a gold beret
Surviving on a diet of cider and cold penne
If I said I hated you after a couple beers
Just text me a couple tears and save me the whole essay
95% Of my brain is marked N/A
I carved the rest off it and feed it to 'em at once
He stared at the plate while she was chewing the chunks
And he was at yard crying while she was hoovering bunks
Every night, born again, leave me be, talk to them
Kicked out shrieking, someone tell 'em we're important men
Please miss, ignore my friend, he must be on that awful stuff
I threaten him with sedatives, one day he'll call my bluff
I whisper, "Kid, stick around, I'll make you famous
Just fatten up a touch and you'll play every stage in Vegas
We now present a human who can make his past disappear
Saw himself clean in half and eat a plate of razors"
But now I drag a dribbling hound through the rolling mountains
Under a thick vermilion sky that just folds around it
Man it's funny how your innards can fuck with your whole surrounding
Like some plastic toy wrestlers giving your soul a pounding
Is it you?
In that poorly built confession booth
On your ones tugging at your tongue yelling "Tell the truth"
Son, can't the devil lend you a helping hoof?
He's only over there cross-legged in a velvet suit
I stood still
Underneath a linen sheet
Swiftly whisked off me by an invalid with gritted teeth
Screaming, "Gather round 'cause we're exhibiting the finished piece"
Covered in blue bruises and oozing with fried chicken grease
Permanent swarm of bugs around the head
A pack of gurning horses couldn't drag it out of bed
They cry "A few more houses, every man in town is dead"
I just clicked my heels and cracked a dragon stout instead
