Fucked Up - House of Keys lyrics
[Fucked Up - House of Keys lyrics]
With bills in the belfry
An angel watched history sell
The ringing bells of make believe
I met a stranger, worn to worse
Broken by the storm, who cursed
"Look into the mirror first
You are the same but in reverse"
Extra extra, see the words
They wrote upon the world
You tell your story through a pane
Of glass nobody heard
The clock struck none before
They passed me through another door
A herald painted gracefully
In Imperium’s gallery
Everything started to look like money
The art, that charming capitulation
The music sounds like desperation
Buy me, play me, pay me honey
My tender archipelago
Just a speck through the window
The better you less you see, you know
(Post No) Bill’s stuck in limbo!
Stuck in limbo!
The paint flaked to reveal
Black steel beams underneath
Tanks lit for delightful wars
In never ending iron halls
Behind the final door where nevermore
Hangs heaven’s word for thee
An instrument played by the wind
Made by the masterpiece machine
The holy House of Keys
Fortifies techdromedes
Only time will tell you when to live
And when to die
