lyrics

Rue St Veuve

I have seen it all before
In it’s deep misery
Up there in the spot light
Where I would never choose to be

(Behold) In the city’s main square!
Full of garish people in a gaudy parade
(“Stop pushing the wrong way, my friend”)
The theatre is still a way away
The theatre is still a way away

I called upon the hour glass
Then I told you the end of the play
A twisted, morbid epilogue
Words foaming from a disused drain

(Behold) In the city’s main square!
Full of garish people in a gaudy parade
(“Stop pushing the wrong way, my friend”)
The theatre is still a way away
The theatre is still a way away

Back then, that was not true
But it came around to be out of necessity or need
I would slit his throat if he threatened me
Well, stopping short of literally
