lyrics

on a curb with hamburg's dust under my shoe things for sale as black as hell in pyrite's golden hue there's a ten-foot high window display for something bittersweet a book shop sets my backdrop on a busy port town street there's a cigarette stuck in the mouth of an overpainted.. on a curb in hamburg watching the junkies zigzag breathing something mysterious into an otherwise empty bag outside the shops that never close on a moonless, starless night across from where the harlots pose beneath a block-wide neon light there's a cigarette stuck in the mouth of an overpainted whore and she comes so close i can smell the smoke and she makes a quote for the price of her wares
