This place is magnificent
All the world a moth flapping at its flame
Promise still sparkles
The siren's tune is still the sameNone of these girls are smiling
I'll take whatever they're selling, you can wrap it up
Rolling over Brooklyn Bridge now
To the belly of the beast by the water-slideAnd we feed the machine
Buying all this shit that nobody needs
And I whimper and I squeak
Like haloumi, how you move meTake a wander down Canal Street
No, I don't have any gold to sell
(The world needs some fearless leaders)
(The world)
It just needs bottom feedersRolling around on my belly
Drifting this way and that
(In a sweaty bar full of cruel laughing)
I thought I saw you smiling
And I was thinking about smiling backAnd we feed the machine
Buying all this shit that nobody needs
And I whimper and I squeak
Like haloumi, how you move meMore than a body but less than a soul
Gotta find me something to fill this hole
