The Brothel Creeper

Through your dull, dark & dire day
While the sun shone all night
You loitered by the lake
And the world kept dreamin' while you walked the world away
Well your body took a battering
Raised your hackles did their heckling rake
It's just a scribe who's on the make
And the world kept dreamin' while he walked the world away
The world kept dreamin', the elements were schemin'
And all the light was blinding you and all the blood was screamin' now
At the top of the stairs...
Now you were headed for the temple tea inn
Now the blood is in the temple
Going have oh, have oh, have oh
Have you been here before?
Before?
Now he doesn't seem to recognize your face
Until you seem to see yourself as in a dream
Moving slowly, every action undertaken
The world kept a-dreamin' while he walked the world away
The world kept a-dreamin' while he walked the world away
And the world kept a-dreamin', the elements were schemin'
All the light was blinding you and all the blood was screamin'
Now lead me to the bed and strip me bare
O lead me to the shower, run the water through my hair
Now heavily and whole as I did lay down
But I won't go there...
Ya
O lead me to the bed and strip me bare
Lead me to the shower, run the water through my hair
Heavily and whole as I did lay down
But I won't go there
But I won't go there
But I won't go there
But I won't go there
At the top of the stairs...
