lyrics

O my darling sally-o
Dark times they are coming nigh
Crouching in the alley where
Your spirit will surely die

Sink the knife into its belly-o
And spit in its closing eye

Autumn leaves are falling
In the grass by the riverside
The bridge above is creaking but
Below is where you must hide

Though the wood is wet and smelly
It’s on fire inside your mind

Soothing light over the burning bridge
Froze in flight, caught in a calm despair
With no way to go home

Buried in the gully is
The body of your desire
How its clothes are sullied
Like the pants of a dirty liar

Wipe the snot onto your sleeve
For some food when the stores run dry

Foolish pride shackles your tiny legs
Oh, it’s like walking on wooden pegs
That send you hungry to bed
