You know I love you, I think you’re so good,
I like the people in my neighbourhood,
My mother is an engineer, my daddy is a healer,
And everybody gathered here: wheelers, dealers.
Lovers, depravers,
Freers, enslavers,
Clowns, wicked sayers,
Kissers and betrayers.
Bones and ladder somehow rhyming,
Man of sorrows hanging, Iscariot swinging – a curious polarity,
Finders, weepers,
Why have you forsaken me?
Losers, keepers.
Lovers, depravers,
Freers, enslavers,
Clowns, wicked sayers,
Kissers and betrayers,
Saviours, deniers,
Prophets, impliers,
Well wishers, liars,
Killers, death deifiers,
Killers, death deifiers.
I light a candle well before dark,
They tell me jesters hide out in the park,
I never was a cautious man,
My brother is a broker,
Everybody in the band: jokers, fire-stokers.
Lovers, depravers,
Freers, enslavers,
Clowns, wicked sayers,
Kissers and betrayers,
Saviours, deniers,
Prophets, impliers,
Well wishers, liars,
Killers, death deifiers,
Killers, death deifiers.
