Word and Deed - Null Device

L like to know that this town is cold

While it keeps me full and strong

Sleek with pride and growing hope

Yet still and weak as a frail, old pope

I like to know that there’s nothing I need

When there’s no one left in this town

Whose mouth is dry

And whose belly is full

When there’s no one left around

Trampled by this pounding steed

Finished off by word and deed

Trampled by this youthful need

Broken down by word and deed

There is no one else around

There is not a soul in this town

Where days are short

And nights are strong

While I’ve been cheating all along

I like to know that there’s nothing I need

When there’s no one left in this town

Whose mouth is dry

And whose belly is full

When there’s no one left around

Trampled by this pounding steed

Finished off by word and deed

Trampled by this youthful need

Broken down by word and deed

That’is why this town is old

That’s why this town is cold

That’s why this town has crime

Why I’ve been cheating all the time

I like to know that there’s nothing I need

When there’s no one left in this town

Where days are short

And nights are strong

And I’ve been cheating all along
