The tempest blows up from a squall<br>
Past the Cape of Bad Conscience<br>
Into the Gulf of the Cauldron<br>
Roars over the coastline to batter and flatten<br>
Exposing the roots like the dyed hair of slattern<br>
<br>
Scrapper and mauler in a rope ring this small<br>
Outside the wind is punching<br>
There's no one left to hear it<br>
No one hears the bell ring<br>
Except the one who comes to fear it<br>
And they continue to brawl<br>
<br>
He's buying his way into heaven I suppose<br>
He weeps at the blows<br>
But down in a location that we cannot disclose<br>
He turns the dial slowly<br>
Through the Stations of the Cross<br>
<br>
Crowd done up dandy<br>
In diamonds and finery<br>
Baying and howling<br>
All bloodlusty calling<br>
Fists like pistons<br>
Faces like meat spoiling<br>
Haul, boys, haul, bully-boys haul<br>
<br>
Later that evening<br>
Molly and her gunman<br>
Go down the stairs to a dive like a dungeon<br>
Meanwhile in the backroom there's a girl like a sponge<br>
Saying, "Bring him in long as a constable's truncheon"<br>
<br>
The gunman wants Molly to kingdom come<br>
Then blows them all to the hereafter<br>
Who's scuttling away now and hidden from our view?<br>
Who tightened the tourniquet, turning her blue?<br>
<br>
They're hurling themselves into heaven I suppose<br>
Before the gates are closed<br>
But down in a location that we cannot disclose<br>
They'll turn the dial slowly through the Stations of the Cross<br>
<br>
The gale of hale laughter<br>
Scales up the ivory<br>
The black keys of her fine whine descend into the minor<br>
Die away breathless<br>
Diminishing behind her<br>
Haul boys haul, bully-boys haul<br>
<br>
The water came up to the eaves<br>
You'd think someone had opened a valve <br>
It's too soon to stay now and too late to leave<br>
So spare your remorse all the way up to Calvary<br>
<br>
They're hurling themselves into heaven I suppose<br>
Before the gates are closed<br>
But down in a location that we cannot disclose<br>
I'm turning the dial slowly through the Stations of the Cross<br>
<br>
''In An Undisclosed Location, Possibly New Orleans, 2005''<br>
