Kebabylon

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I see through your swagger, I sweep up your sickness I find what is lost and thrown away I stoop for your secrets, I bend for your blood I kill corruption, so it lives another day [Verse 2] I'm a wallflower in the darkness in fireproof clothes Undercover, undervalued, underpaid I ride the edges and the cracks, I see behind the curtain I am invisible, I am your moonlight maid [Chorus] Sifting through the streets of Kebabylon Chasing down the ghosts of indiscretion and lust These empty, filthy streets are where I belong Down among the devilry, down in the dust [Verse 3] And you're already dreaming as I claw up your condom As your syringe cracks underneath my boot You've crashed on the couch, passed out on the porch Such a lover, such a liar, such a brute And with the evidence destroyed, your sleep will be sound I'm your angel, your accomplice, and look what I've found [Chorus] Sifting through the streets of Kebabylon Chasing down the ghosts of indiscretion and lust These empty, filthy streets are where I belong Down among the devilry, down in the dust [Post-Chorus] So join me on the streets of Kebabylon We can find a story for the ages tonight These empty, filthy streets are where I belong Always trying hard to outrun the light
