Smokestack lyrics

Artist  : Walkabouts 
Song : Smokestack
 
Swept the floor of dreams
Swept the floor of dreams
Live ones in the cracks
Live ones in the cracks
Crawling from the woodwork
Crawling from the woodwork
Just to break your mother’s back
Just to break your mother’s back


Hail the future king
Hail the future king
No surprises left
No surprises left
Formula is widely know by chemists
Formula is widely know by chemists
And the minds they’ve blown
And the minds they’ve blown


Smokestack
Smokestack
Smokestack
Smokestack
Smokestack
Smokestack


Count ’em 1 in 10
Count ’em 1 in 10
Can’t hold on to those threats
Can’t hold on to those threats
Not-so-distant cousins
Not-so-distant cousins
Of the nails on which you slept
Of the nails on which you slept


Amateur contortionist
Amateur contortionist
With pyrotechnic skill
With pyrotechnic skill
This is not a mob you rule
This is not a mob you rule
It’s just the family barbecue
It’s just the family barbecue


Smokestack
Smokestack
Smokestack
Smokestack
Smokestack
Smokestack


Smokestack
Smokestack
Smokestack
Smokestack
Smokestack
Smokestack


Standing on my head
Standing on my head
And just in time to see
And just in time to see
A promise in each pocket
A promise in each pocket
And a liar in each sleeve
And a liar in each sleeve
The spoils have been crudely cut
The spoils have been crudely cut
In out of balance halves
In out of balance halves
Nothing left to peace or calm
Nothing left to peace or calm
That explosions couldn’t bring along
That explosions couldn’t bring along
