Out of the Valley - A Money

Was (Not Was) Born To Laugh At Tornadoes (Return To The Valley Of) Out Come The Freaks Eddie Harold used a tape recorder When he had one of his girlfriends over He didn't want to miss a single scream His friends all laughed when he played it later You had to wonder, did he really hate her? Girls always made him nervous, that's to blame And makin' love was just a crazy game The woodwork squeaks and out come the freaks In her apartment was a plastic altar She'd light a candle when her courage faltered Sometimes the world got a little hard to bear It wasn't easy living in the city She wasn't clever and she wasn't pretty She chanted in the night but no one cared The woodwork squeaks and out come the freaks Freddie's wife became a topless dancer Had bondage parties with a Turkish bouncer She's been evicted, the police have got her car She tried to sell an antique shotgun She said she knows some crazy guy who wants one Her parents said "You're not our daughter, you're a whore. It's over and you don't live here anymore." The woodwork squeaks and out come the freaks The woodwork squeaks and out come the freaks The woodwork squeaks and "Strangers In The Night" The woodwork squeaks and "Papa's Got A Brand New Bag" The woodwork squeaks and "The Shadow Of Your Smile" The woodwork squeaks and "Take The Last Train To Clarksville" The woodwork squeaks and out come the freaks

Last night I lay all in my dreams, when a rap At the door it startled me. And I heard those footsteps on the stairs, And I bade her; please come in. Come in, come in, my roving friend. Come in and rest awhile. For you've been gone so very long, It's nice to see you smile. Come in, come in, my wandering friend. Accept my welcome home. I hope you can stay a long, long while before you have to go. And she walked across the room to me, And then she sat right down with me, And told me that she had to leave. She could not stay for long. A child he held in his arms, a child that I Knew well through time, and told me that he had to leave. He had to take him home. She crossed the floor and moved away, And my heart said, "Stop her. Maker her stay." But I just showered myself in tears, for I just let her go. When I awoke I cried and cried, And went to sit by his graveside, And visit the child he left behind. Because he had to go. You must come back to me again. Accept the welcome I extend. I will not let you go this time, If only in my dreams. And yeah, though you walk ever on, May your heart be not weary but strong. And yeah, though you walk ever on, Through the valley of the shadow of death.

We have no future, heaven wasn't made for me We burn ourselves to hell as fast as it can be And I wish that I could be the king Then I'd know that I am not alone Maggots put on shirts, sell each others shit Sometimes I feel so worthless, sometimes I feel discarded I wish that I was good enough Then I'd know that I am not alone Death, it is policeman, death, it is the priest Death is the stereo, death is TV Death is the Tarot, death is an angel Death is our god, killing us all She put the seeds in me Plant this dying tree She's a burning string I'm just the ashes She put the seeds in me Plant this dying tree She's a burning string I'm just the ashes She put the seeds in me Plant this dying tree She's a burning string...
