Skinners Cage Songtext
von Big John Bates: Noirchestra

And the tree on the hill is calling
And a star in the sky is blinding
But the say we all must die
And the lies are left behind
A feather merchant waiting
For a tortured soul that′s praying
With a skinners cage to sell
And a path that leads to many hells
And then we push the button
Spend truth to buy some comfort
Long goodbye to a lie
That can't bury us deep enough to hide


The Maggie feeds me nightmare
Til I′m filled with empty prayer
Last day of the year
At the top of the stairs
I rip back the curtain fold
Grasping for fools gold
Wild roses on skin fading
Black thorns to the earth are binding
Burning bridges, wet our beaks
Fill the nest nowhere to sleep
Lead me somewhere to forget
While these eyes are phosphorescent yet

And the tree on the hill is calling
And a star in the sky is blinding
But the say we all must die
And the lies are left behind
A feather merchant waiting
For a tortured soul that's praying
With a skinners cage to sell
And a path that leads to many hells
And then we push the button
Spend truth to buy some comfort
Long goodbye to a lie
That can't bury us deep enough to hide
