lyrics

Come in that wind will skin ye
Here’s codeine get it in ye
A hit of sweet Virginia
Will pacify the nerves
I’ll start the clock, sit you down
We’ll get you processed in no time
Never mind that screaming sound
It’s probably, I dunno, a bird

But while I’m the mayor of this town
Children we won’t steer you wrong
Come all you daughters, all you sons
You rapparees, you riot girls
Welcome to your
Welcome to your
Welcome to your world

This can be your safe space
this can be your happy place
this is where we separate
mankind from the animal
charcoal from the pearl
here is where you earn your wings
here’s your precious, here’s your ring
here is where you see the things
that straighten out your curls

But while I’m the mayor of this town
Children we won’t steer you wrong
Come all you daughters, all you sons
You rapparees, you riot girls
Welcome to your
Welcome to your
Welcome to your world

This is where we buckle up
This is where we suckle up
This is where we pucker up
Daddy watch me twirl
The price of your admission
To existence is attrition
This condition we call human
With which all of us are girdled

But while I’m the mayor of this town
Children we won’t steer you wrong
Come all you daughters, all you sons
You rapparees, you riot girls
Welcome to your
Welcome to your
Welcome to your world

And if by pricking of the thumbs
You sense a wickedness to come
Hold your nerve, banish misfortune
Sing your hurdy-gurdy songs
For when all the battle’s lost and won
we’ll gather children once again
In thunder, lightning and in rain
When all this hurly burly’s done
When by the pricking of your thumbs
Something wicked this way comes
