Widow City

Lyrics

Antioch agent wrote a letter per usual
 Dated it's 100 degrees perpetual
 Sent via the swift dromedary
 Traversing her ways
 On the odd and even days
 It said the lion has come up from his thicket
 And they've managed to void my lottery ticket
 Drunk on wormwood in Widow City
 Widow City's drunk on wormwood
 Tomorrow night when the sun sets at nine
 I might need tangle myself with the degenerate plant of a strange little vine
 And foxes on the mountain, girls
 There're foxes on the mountain, girls
 So negotiate the deserts and pits
 You can't rely on your dimwits
 Wag your head and clean your clocks
 Ready for the rendezvous with the sticks and the stocks
 Taught the wicked ones the ways,
 Said what was sent via the swift dromedary traversing on the odd and even days
 Drunk on wormwood in Widow City
 Widow City's drunk on wormwood
 Tomorrow night when the sun sets at nine
 I might need tangle myself with the degenerate plant of a strange little vine
 They've made my chain even heavier, if you can imagine
 They've made my chain even heavier, if you can imagine
 Drunk on wormwood in Widow City
 Widow City's drunk on wormwood
 Tomorrow night when the sun sets at nine
 I might need tangle myself with the degenerate plant of a strange little vine
