Father Jack And Mr. T

Lyrics

O how many houses have we lived in? How many still are standing after each and every fall Of you and me Brother Lock and Sister Key? And I would think it funny were it not so wretched In how it plays out like the cheapest fare This age adores But then what are we, Brother Lock and Sister Key? Only exile, only separation, only disavowal When the information comes Nobody's free, Brother Lock and Sister Key And do you know how masterful is Brother Lock? Insinuates himself into each recess and door To make a lee for Sister Key to marry in once more... Only spasms of love that get by on memory Raw passages of a cooked up story, that nobody reads And nobody ever will Only exile, only separation, only after a while When the cheap sensation's done And nobody's free, Brother Lock and Sister Key... How's it to wake to find another tooth is missing And vaguely recollect the stone that you've been kissing? How's it to find you've been many years blind And always leading? And I would think it funny were it not so jaded And I would think it pretty were it never so degraded As by verdigris, Brother Lock and Sister Key... Only exile, only separation, only disavowal When the information comes He'll put her down, she'll send him up Only spasms of love that get by on memory Only passages of the same old story, that nobody reads And nobody ever will Only exile, only isolation, only after a while When the cheap sensation's done And nobody's free, Brother Lock and Sister Key...
