The Bewlay Brothers

So the story goes

They wore the clothes

They said the things

To make it seem improbable

Whale of a lie like they hope it was

And the good men tomorrow

Had their feet in the wallow

And their heads of brawn

Were nicer shown

And how they bought their positions

With saccharin and trust

And the world was asleep

To our latent fuss

Sighings swirl through the streets

Like the crust of the sun

The Bewlay brothers

In our wings that bark

Flashing teeth of brass

Standing tall in the dark

Ohh and we were gone

Hanging out with your dwarf men

We were so turned on

By your lack of conclusions

I was stone and he was wax

So he could scream and still relax

Unbelievable

And we frightened

The small children away

And our talk was old

And dust would flow

Through our veins and though

It might

Back at the kitchen door

Like the grim face

On the cathedral floor

The solid book we wrote

Cannot be found today

And it was stalking time

For the moon boys

The Bewlay brothers

With our backs on the arch

And if the Devil may be here

But he can't sing about that

Ohh and we were gone

Real cool traders

We were so turned on

You thought we were fakers

And now the dress is hung

The ticket pawned

The factor max that proved

The fact is melted down

Woven on the edging of my pillow

And my brother lays upon the rocks

He could be dead he could be not

He could be you

He's chameleon comedian

Corinthian and caricature

Shooting up pie in the sky

Bewlay brothers

In the feeble in the bad

In the crutch hungry dark

Was where we flayed our mark

Ohh and we were gone

Kings of Oblivion

We were so turned on

In the night walk pavilion

Lay me place and bake me pie

I'm starving for me gravy

Leave my shoes and door unlocked

I might just slip away

Just for the day

Please come away

Just for the day

Please come away

Just for the day
