Thick As Thieves (LP版) - Natalie Merchant
Written by：Merchant Na
Remember how it all began
The apple and the fall of man
The price we paid
So the people say
Down a path of shame
It lead us dared to bite the hand
That fed us the fairy tale
The moral end
The wheel of fortune
Never turns again
Never turns again
The worst of it has come and gone
In the chaos of millennium
In the falling out
Of the doomsday crowd
Their last retreat is moving slow
They burn their bridges as they go
The heretic is beatified
Teach the harlot's child
To smile
Wracked again by indecision
Should we make that small incision
Testify to the bleeding heart inside
We cut we scratched
We rent we slashed
And when he opened up at last
Found a cul de sac
Deep and black
Of smoke and ash
Deep and black
Of smoke and ash
The wicked king of parody
Is kissing all his enemies
On the seventh day
Of the seventh week
The tyrant's voice is softer now
But just for one forgiving hour
Before the rise of his
Iron fist again
Fist again
I've come tonight
I've come to know
The way we are
The way we'll go
And to measure this
The width of the wide abyss
I come to you in restless sleep
Where all your dreams
Turn bitter sweet
With voodoo doll philosophies
And day glo holy trinities
The crooked raft that leaves the shore
Ferries drunken souls aboard
Pilgrims march to Compestela
Visions of their saint in yellow
Follow deep in trance
Lost in a catatonic dance
Know no future
D**n the past
Blind warm ecstatic
Safe at last
