The Fatima Mansions - Evil Man lyrics
[The Fatima Mansions - Evil Man lyrics]
Born to refuse, and raised to exclude
Fed myths to disprove
By post-colonial prudes:
The city was evil, some country was evil
The hippies were evil, the writers were evil
The homeless were evil, the workers were evil
The summer was evil, independence was evil
Grown and released with the heart of a thief
Wanting only to seek the very
Gentlest of streets where
Nobody's evil, nobody's evil
So easy to hate just look at the face
The nose in the clouds the bulge in the brow
And the head on backwards
The need to escape all visible space
Continuous drift to depend and dismiss
And the head on backwards
(Evil, evil, weak and now feeble, evil
Evil) Evil man!
(Evil, evil, we who would kneel, evil
Evil) Evil man!
(Evil, evil, man we'll get even, evil
Evil) Evil man!
(Evil, evil, we all know the reason, evil
Evil) Evil man!
Here comes the fun blink and it's gone
See what you've won the end's just begun
I am the demon, I am the demon
The morning is hell the night full of blood
Each sickening smell announces a flood
In a human holiday no wall at the back
No light on the map no fiction, no fact
No fibre now chaff in the human holiday
(Evil, evil, weak and now feeble, evil
Evil) Evil man!
(Evil, evil, we who would kneel, evil
Evil) Evil man!
(Evil demon, quit while you're even, evil
Evil) Evil man!
(Evil, evil, we all know the reason, evil
Evil) Evil man!
I'm clearing my desk it's time for a rest
Tomorrow is dead, so the worms have been fed
With the head on backwards
The washing of hands the kissing of feet
The failure which brands
Nightmare without sleep
To any fool with a grievance
It's open season!
(Evil, evil, weak and now feeble, evil
Evil) Evil man!
(Evil, evil, we who would kneel, evil
Evil) Evil man!
(Evil, evil, quit while you're even, evil
Evil) Evil man!
(Evil, evil, we all know the reason, evil
Evil) Evil man!
