lyrics

My feet are fused right to the floor of a sea so vast and black. The stars are crawling up, all to watch. With these fins, with these gills you have carved into my back, I will live. I guess I’ll live. I live too much...

And since you won’t make amends for all the blood you love to spill, a man called Django will.

There’s a place away from here where the sun is always hot (when the circus comes it never begs to stay!), where the people all sleep safe, where the villains all lie shot, where the heroes all return (not fade away).

There’s a place where the clouds keep the rain I know you’d give, and a man called Django lives.

When I’m free from these chains keeping me stuck to the rock, when I’m free to leave this rolling world behind, we will see whose chains are worse twisted round your tangled cock, which is pissing in this endless, faceless brine.

And when no one dares to speak past your hornets where they buzz, a man called Django does.

Here they kill the little girl. Here they drop her tiny bones. Here they walk again one slimy, rainy night. Here they stare down in the hole where they’ve hid the holy moan of their angry lives in grainy black and white.

Here I am, without a shirt, without a map, without a gun – when a man called Django comes.

And all you boys best run.
