lyrics

Well its one of those nights when the world turns slowly
on a spit of a flame
It burns you up and make you wish you could be
someone with a name
The wind blows like a strip search
and the streets are like a scar
and in the puddles shine the reflection of all the stars

And I'll build a bonfire out of these
dead leaves and tooth decay
Something tells me Winter's on its way

I can't pay to feed my tapeworm
I can't pay my dental bills
I can't pay for acupuncture
I can't pay to cure my ills
But I always had a dreamy dream
of a working class moustache
And I'll put my name to the wheel
with a coke and a smile
and a dot and a dash

They say that work is for the thankless
and thanks are for the giving
The cosmos is mine and it owes me a living
When you've got a part-time contract
and it feels like a full-time squeeze
then you haven't got the symptoms
you've got the whole disease

And you look toward a crowd that gathers
and steals at crumbs and begs
A mass of ragged claws and restless legs

It's been a season in hell

Well the moon shone cold and dead and gleaming
at the feet of a crooked man
As he kicked it through the shade of an empty park
To move these stars to pity
or move a man to shame
is like fumbling for an answer in the dark

And he wears a sad expression like
a wig made of question marks
His thunderous silence echoes down the hall

It's been a season in hell

Well its one of those nights when the world turns slowly
on a spit of a flame
It burns you up and make you wish you could be
someone with a name
The wind blows like a strip search
and the streets are like a scar
and in the puddles shine the reflection of all the stars

And I'll build a bonfire out of these
dead leaves and tooth decay
Something tells me Winter's on its way
And I wonder where you are tonight
my love, my dear, my sweet
How do we dance with only two left feet

It's been a season in hell
