Clutch - Child of the City lyrics

Child of the city, Mother of the Earth
Baptism by firefly, pinch a parson’s purse

Queen of Cups the Joker’s blade
Is old and dull

Child of the City
Yet it slices us with the nicest miracles

Babe in the Wilderness, Father of Creation
Spinning of the wind
The gathering of nations
Professor on the Toadstool convene your class
Babe in the wilderness

In absentia, please, show your hands
And your feet are you touched by a beast?
Wash yourself
Live your life take the Earth as your wife

False idol raiser, play the town
Count up your blessings and melt it down

Immortal Dominator governor of the World
Sic semper tyrannis the Fisher and the Pearl

The bearer of this letter is a charlatan
Immortal Dominator

In absentia, please
Show your hands and your feet
And your feet are you touched by a beast?
Wash yourself
Live your life take the Earth as your wife

False idol raiser, play the town
Count up your blessings and melt it down
All your money now, kid all your money now
Kid all your money now, kid all your money
