jam baxter – flickers on the fourth floor lyrics

[hook]
city on the sea bed
this is what you fought for
body like a blue flame
fl!ckers on the fourth floor
feel it in your bloodstream
dripping from the meat hooks
stare out of the k hole
tell me how the street looks
rabbit in the red light
maggot on the creep creep
polish every skin cell
sell them on the cheap cheap
giant in his silk tie
showing off his war wounds
[?] each other’s tongues out
bleeding in the boardrooms
screaming with their mouths full
belly full of freebies
terrifying fortune
written in the tea leaves
pigeon on the rooftops
hugging all the high ground
you just fill my glass up
tell me when it’s my round

[verse]
center of the [?] crowds
simmer down
stand back, give him sp+ce
sped off with a case of red
and half the city giving chase
turned up unscathed
with every hair still in place
and handed you a shiny signed picture with his grinning face
come in, you’re just in time for supper
we peeled his face away and [?] b+tter
he’s a little man, wallet sized
tucked behind a rubber
in the hot and sweaty pockets of a drunken violent summer
rich child, peasant boy + one defines the other
it’s a cold world, n0body to trust besides your mother
then the teary eyed storm clouds snuck inside your borough
in the moonlight your warped tongue is such a vibrant colour
so, who’s stepping in the furnace first
afternoon, how’s the head?
turned my back and heard it burst
lose my mind and sp+wn another
marvel at the virgin birth
god+like, fully doused
feeling like a burning church
so pop some bottles, this is your night
to sliver through the drain pipes
lit up in the torchlight
didn’t bring his guts out
love the lack of foresight
that is not a stab wound
life is not a sword fight
he lured the shepherds in the brothel
flashing too much cash, i think he’s on the tape
stop screaming at the heavens, give your gods a break
you are not depressed child, you just sniffed a lot of flake
i sat and listed sixty thousand ways to skin a common snake
their nervous dispositions weighed them under while
their weirdest thoughts whisper stay in touch, i saved your number
it just took them days to conjure any demon worth his weight in white
it grew a beast, hopped inside your brittle skull and stayed the night
nothing fits, he thought his skin was made to measure
knotted veins neatly wrapped his shiny studded painted leather
whole past bent in place, nothing stays the same forever
all his younger years were fed gently through a paper shredder
just let the thunder rumble through him
they watch you from the shore and wonder what the f+ck you’re doing
we just starred in every movie, sit among the sunken ruins
of a second hand, mud smeared, submerged
[hook]
city on the sea bed
this is what you fought for
body like a blue flame
fl!ckers on the fourth floor
feel it in your bloodstream
dripping from the meat hooks
stare out of the k hole
tell me how the street looks
rabbit in the red light
maggot on the creep creep
polish every skin cell
sell them on the cheap cheap
giant in his silk tie
showing off his war wounds
[?] each other’s tongues out
bleeding in the boardrooms
screaming with their mouths full
belly full of freebies
terrifying fortune
written in the tea leaves
pigeon on the rooftops
hugging all the high ground
you just fill my glass up
tell me when it’s my round
