All is quiet on the western front There appears to be a lull John and jane doe are sleeping well tonight With the little thoughts inside their skulls Salome she's undressed to the nines And although a few pounds fatter She got pavlov's bells on her ankles and wrists She coming at you with a platter
So i stole down to the waterfront To escape the desert heat Oh what on earth you gotta do around here To try and get yourself a drink Heard john the baptist preaching 'make way for the King But if you want to recognize Him You gotta tell me all your sins'
They are building a new gallows For when You show up on the street Polishing the electric chair They're gonna give You a front row seat Heard a sneer outside the garden Salutation so well heeled 'welcome all you suckers to struggleville'
I've been trying to negotiate peace With my own existence She got a stockpile full of weaponry She breaking every cease-fire agreement Oh the whole thing is full of decay As sure as i'm made of dust And into rust i know The beast is falling
They are building a new gallows For when You show up on the street Polishing the electric chair They're gonna give You a front row seat Heard a sneer outside the garden Salutation so well heeled 'final stop no points beyond struggleville Welcome all you suckers to struggleville'
