Corpses In Regalia - Protomartyr

From a high window

I spied a pale brown thing

Though it was very far away

I heard its voice inside my head:

«You've been spending your time

With corpses in regalia

You better get to stepping while you can»

They have a certain charm

The way they move

The way they mouth the words

Drinking Balthazars

Decent people don’t live like that

Decent folk don’t live that good

Fools on the beach

The sand is little bones

Watch where you go

Watch where you go

Watch where you go

They know how to slow time

The way they gloam

The way they promote the brand

Drinking Nebuchadnezzers

Decent people don’t live like that

Decent folk don’t live that good

Oh, you fools

There’s teeth in the surf

Watch where you go

Watch where you go

Watch where you go

Watch where you go

From a high window

I spied a pale brown thing

Though it was very far away

I heard its voice inside my head:

«You've been spending your time

With corpses in regalia

Better get to stepping while you can»
