Shriekback - Devils' Onions lyrics

I'll get the clown's pie, with the Devil's onions It's a feast indeed We ride hard, we fear the Lord - we gonna live forever That night we all got drunk a lot of things were said We put that all behind us - it's behind us now In the scheme of things it is a grand scheme We got it all to play for It's a Golden Age It's a Golden Age It's running late, all so goddamn late We got our feet in the furnace Feel like a thunder lizard with my might jaws And this walnut brain In the arch of the heavens there's a tired little star At the end of its run There's been a thousand years and the headsman's axe But the walls endure It's a Golden Age It's a Golden Age I like the way she looks at me, I like her motor sk**s I like the way she shimmies Through the liquor and the pills I like the way the walls press in, I like the teeming sky I know I am, I'm sure I am I'm H.A.P.P - H.A.P.P.Y. It's Best Value, it's Fit for Purpose, it's a Box in a Field We got Prole Dazzle and Mall Glut Out here in the Boomburb Got a Snout House near the Pork Chop Lot It's a Growth Machine There's a retail chain that arcs across the world Like a Bridge of Rainbows It's a Golden Age It's a Golden Age It's a land grab from the long Firm They're going on the pavement They got the wrong guy (Though his crimes are many - justice will be done) Ah the words are clunky, and the lines don't rhyme But the truth's revealed And for a flat fee which is all-inclusive I don't think you can complain It's a Golden Age It's a Golden Age It's a Golden Age It's a Golden Age It's a Golden Age It's a Golden Age...
