Stabbed To Death Outside San Juan Lyrics

The winter’s wet and the summer’s hot
take a match in Puerto Rico – why not

Power and adrenaline flowing like amber
From the recesses of the earth put on your waders

And twitch when the water runs high sometimes
Twitch when the tide ebbs low

See the sights maybe go downtown
Sometimes you get some heat
Sometimes it follows you around

When the blade hits the bone everybody hears it sing
Shower-room full of people no-one hears a God damned thing

Twitch when the current runs wild sometimes
Twitch when the contact howls

All that racket out there in the arena
I’m on a stretcher here come the cleaners

And the sky goes dark and there I am
Climbing down the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram

I drop from the top of my tall steel cage
Drop to the concrete floor
