The Blood Brothers - Camouflage, Camouflage
текст песни

"Alice, where's your tongue?"
She said, "Look in the encyclopedia's ceaseless chatter!"

"And Alice, where's your hair?"
She said, "Look in the sharp of a well-worn butterfly knife!"

"And Alice, where's your teeth?"
She said, "Look at the piano. They're dangling from every single chord!"

"And Alice, where's your lips?"
"Look in the empires roaring; the tyrants getting so loud and boring!"

"Alice, where's your man?"
"Look in this black eye written like the "o" in the word "goodbye!""

"Alice, where's your house?"
"It's built on the hush of your favorite record's screeching halt"

"Alice, where's your clothes?"
"They'll be sweet sheets around your eyes when street boars eat you alive!"

"Alice, where's your swans?"
"Flying in hotel rooms stealing stereos"

Mister, the sky's a contortionist
The streets are skipping records blaring hiss
(Camouflage, camouflage!
The city's draped in camouflage!)

The taxis are jaguars throwing fits
Subways are subterranean bullets
(Camouflage, camouflage!
The city's draped in camouflage!)

Can't you see the sidewalks are just snakes peeling off last year's skin?
Can't you see your own face shining in the sky's false reflection?
Where's your voice?
Where's your dress?
Where's your bones?
(Draped in camouflage!)
Where's your beach?
Where's your sky?
Where's your clouds?
(Draped in camouflage!)

Mister, the sky's a contortionist
The streets are skipping records blaring hiss
(Camouflage, camouflage!
The city's draped in camouflage!)

The taxis are jaguars throwing fits
Subways are subterranean bullets
(Camouflage, camouflage!
The city's draped in camouflage!)

And she says, "Give me one good reason not to empty the heart of all its zeros and ones, not to smash that telecaster before it births a thousand useless slums"
And lie bit you in the throat while you were staring at the sea
And all the girls in Montreal are smashing skateboards in the street
And it's 4 a.m., she's at your door with a suitcase in a nightgown

(Oh-oh)
We slip through mansions with fences full-grown
(Oh-oh)
We slip through streetlights in crooked rows
I saw the sky split in two: one half jealous and one half cruel
I felt my chest cave in under a pile of synthetic grins
(Oh-oh)
The fields are Day-Glo under sobbing rainbows dragged through filthy thoughts, false applause and camouflage

I couldn't see the solar system:
It was camouflaged as a tape loop repeating

And I couldn't see the glorious meadow:
It was camouflaged as a smashed stained-glass window

And I couldn't see the love and affection:
It was camouflaged as a jungle of erections

And I couldn't see the skeletal lightning:
It was camouflaged as a young machete
