The Boys and Their Tuxedos
The boys and their tuxedos when they kicked it off
That night's bound for glory in the mud
Screaming prayers off the rooftops
The city's fading light
See the patron saints of darkness
With a burning sky behind them
I ran some shivers down my backbone
Cause we're shivers down my spine
I can see the walls are tumbling
And I can smell their well-being rain
And the heat is just enormous
And I guess it fries my brain
Well it won't be the answer
Well it won't be the answer
Well it won't be the answer
Well it won't be the answer
If the answer's derrikin'
Ran a tux when he stole her boy
Ate her water and tinned her booze
Listen boys, I'm really shaky
With a fever in my head
And the monkey on my shoulder
Sings the deprivation blues
I ran some shivers down my backbone
Cause we're shivers down my spine
The clock is getting bigger
Yes tonight it all comes down
I can see the waters rising
And I know that I will drown
But it can't be the answer
No, but it can't be the answer
Pull a copy, the answer if the answer's Derrick Kent
I can feel it coming closer, I can hear them cock their guns
I can feel my head exploding, like a hundred million cells
This town is not an odd city, it's just a different frame
For a portrait of a man, a portrait of a woman
A portrait of a disaster, Derrick Kent by name
This town is not an odd city, it's just a different frame
For a portrait of a disaster, Derrick Kent by name
This town is not an odd city, it's just a different frame
