Letras de The Foot of Our Stairs

We sleep by the ever bright hole in the door
Eat in the corner, talk to the floor
Cheating the spiders who come to say please
Politely they bend at the knees
Well I′ll go to the foot of our stairs

Old gentlemen talk of when they were young
Of ladies lost, of bearing sons
Lace covered dandies revel with friends
Pure as the truth tied at both ends
Well I'll go to the foot of our stairs

Scented cathedral, spire pointed down
We pray for souls in Kentish Town
A delicate hush, the gods floating by
Wishing us well, pie in the sky
God of ages, lord of time
Mine is the right to be wrong
Well I′ll go to the foot of our stairs

Jackrabbit master spawn a new breed
Of love hungry pilgrims, no bodies to feed
Show me a good man and I'll show you the door
The last hymn is sung and the devil cries more
Show me the gypsy, the chain's weakest link
And I′ll throw him a fiver to buy all he can drink
Till he′s down on his knees, his luck and his heels
Let me pass you the bottle, let's see how it feels

The rollicking hero has won all his wars
Left only with memories that ooze from his pores
Let him join in the party and share in the fun
While the bomb in his pocket stops half the sun

Well I′m off leaving and that being done
I put in a request to take up my turn
In that forsaken paradise that calls itself hell
Where no one has nothing and nothing is
