Well this is one place where
Your Gods can't dwell.
It's like walking in
To the mouth of hell.
Sweating our dignities out on the subway
At the beginning of another long, long day.
As for my mortal remains
I couldn't care.
'Cause when the day is done
She'll be waiting here.
That's when I love the accommodations
In a urine smelling transit station.
I'll move these rocks
For you, my love,
I will tear them up out of the Earth.
And I will bend my spine
'Til it's quitting time.
'Cause I know what your time is worth.
And I'll give my days to the Neanderthals
With the classic rock
And the wrecking ball.
I'll go swimming in the wet concrete
And I'll cast my pearls at the unpaved streets.
I don't mind the mental atrophy,
'Cause when the lids come down,
you're all I see.
You're like a lovely hallucination,
You get me through my current occupation.
I'll move these rocks
For you, my love,
I will tear them up out of the Earth
And I will bend my spine,
'Til it's quitting time,
'Cause I know what your time is worth.
See I'm towering
Above mortal men.
I'll emerge from the darkness
And there you stand.
You're the Queen of all the surface streets
I'm a wiener boy, that you're here to meet.
I don't need the money,
I couldn't care,
'Cause everything I want Is standing right here.
I would live on the street
In a cardboard shack,
Just the worship the feet
And the curve of your back.
You'll be my only preoccupation
On a permanent vacation.
Now I will move these rocks
For you, my love,
I will tear them up out of the Earth
And I will bend my spine,
'Til it's quitting time,
'Cause I know what your love is worth!
What your love is worth,
What your love is worth…
