What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
In the stillness of the alley waits a man with an open blade
2
And he hurts the woman badly and within her plants his seed
3
She can't shake the dirt and horror as the seed takes root and grows
4
But the law now claims her body, the doctor's door is closed
5
She goes back to another alley to a leering butcher's blade
6
And the deal is dark and bloody in the crime the law has made.
7
CHORUS:
8
And the face at the window never blinks never turns away
9
When you wake in the night to a flashing light
10
When you burn on judgment day
11
They have spoke aloud your daydreams
12
They have listened to your plans
13
They have watched you dance in the rainstorm
14
They have seen you ride the wind.
15
Walking slowly home at night a man touching a man
16
And the car looks kind of familiar and it's coming round again
17
You got no chance in that deadly dance when they cut you to the bone
18
There's a bleeding gash from the broken glass and you hear somebody moan
19
And maybe somebody calls the cops and they take their own sweet time
20
And they say it's just a couple of fags again and maybe your friend is dying.
21
CHORUS
22
And your lover comes to you softly and you touch and you feel no shame
23
And you steal away from the city and lightning fills your veins
24
In an air-conditioned office the committee discusses your case
25
They know the words you whispered they felt the flush upon your face.
26
They have files on every fantasy, who's on top and who's below
27
You have crossed into the shadow place where outlaws freely roam.
28
CHORUS
29
You can drink the lies of paradise while the books on the shelves disappear
30
You can make a comfortable living, you can swear it can't happen here
31
And maybe they'll come for the unionists and maybe they'll come for the Jews
32
And maybe they'll come for the heretics but they'll never come for you
33
When you hear the step in the hallway, when you taste the iron fear
34
Don't you go shouting out for justice 'cause there's no one left to hear.
35
CHORUS
That one has a mind of its own😂
