Lyrics

[00:14.61] and so the story goes they wore the clothes
[00:17.98] they said the things to make it seem improbable
[00:22.99] whale of a lie like they hope it was
[00:26.08]
[00:30.60] and the good men tomorrow
[00:33.63] had their feet in the wallow
[00:35.58] and their heads of brawn were nicer shown
[00:38.58] and how they bought their positions
[00:40.26] with saccharin and trust
[00:43.59] and the world was asleep to our latent fuss
[00:50.26] sighings swirl through the streets
[00:53.61] like the crust of the sun
[00:55.82] the bewlay brothers
[00:58.78] in our wings that bark
[01:02.62] flashing teeth of brass
[01:06.67] standing tall in the dark
[01:10.17] ohh, and we were gone
[01:14.45] hanging out with your dwarf men
[01:18.43] we were so turned on
[01:22.49] by your lack of conclusions
[01:26.64]
[01:35.54] i was stone and he was wax
[01:38.25] so he could scream and still relax, unbelievable
[01:42.97] and we frightened the small children away
[01:51.43] and our talk was old and dust would flow
[01:55.13] through our veins and though it was midnight
[01:57.24] back at the kitchen door
[01:59.31] like the grim face on the cathedral floor
[02:03.10] the solid book we wrote cannot be found today
[02:11.99] and it was stalking time for the moon boys
[02:16.57] the bewlay brothers
[02:19.53] with our backs on the arch
[02:24.13] and if the devil may be here
[02:27.65] but he can't sing about that
[02:30.98] ohh, and we were gone
[02:35.27] real cool traders
[02:39.53] we were so turned on
[02:43.40] you thought we were fakers
[02:47.86]
[02:56.59] and now the dress is hung, the ticket pawned
[02:58.99] the factor max that proved the fact is melted down
[03:02.88] woven on the edging of my pillow
[03:12.50] and my brother lays upon the rocks
[03:15.46] he could be dead, he could be not
[03:17.05] he could be you
[03:18.59] he's chameleon, comedian, corinthian and caricature
[03:25.61] shooting up pie in the sky
[03:28.12] bewlay brothers
[03:31.91] in the feeble, in the bad
[03:35.88] bewlay brothers
[03:39.97] in the blessed and cold
[03:44.25] in the crutch hungry dark
[03:47.63] was where we flayed our mark
[03:51.26] ohh and we were gone
[03:55.45] kings of oblivion
[03:59.55] we were so turned on
[04:03.44] in the night walk pavilion
[04:06.62]
[04:07.94] lay me place and bake me pie
[04:12.65] i'm starving for me gravy
[04:16.05] leave my shoes, and door unlocked
[04:20.28] i might just slip away
[04:25.62] just for the day
[04:29.51] please come away
[04:34.04] just for the day
[04:37.21] please come away
[04:41.50] please come away
[04:45.53] just for the day
[04:49.60] please come away
[04:53.50] please come away
[04:57.61] please come away
[05:01.48] please come away
[05:05.56] away
[05:09.74] away
