lyrics

In the town of Towanda where the leaves ever fall by the Lithia River in the freemasons’ hall there’s a lithograph picture that’s turned to the wall a memento of long-ago lives Ah the years have unraveled their cloaks and their veils now the beast can be seen ‘neath the top hat and tails for in death all that grow are the teeth and the nails Here’s a picture from Coroner & Knives, See the young couple strolling content as can be as he carves their initials in the old lynching tree then she limps off to work at the glue factory while he frequents bordellos and dives There’s the dashing lieutenant who conquered the waves he appoints his blind mother to mange his slaves and has unwanted children in untended graves Here’s a picture from Coroner & Knives, On her knees in a church in the front of the pews is a poor hungry urchin igniting a fuse for the steeple she claimed was obstructing her views of the hills where the sycamore thrives In the great granite mansions set firm in the mud are the men who chew souls as a cow chews her cud and their pinkies are raised as they sip steaming blood Here’s a picture from Coroner & Knives, Oh Sensitive Listener do not think me cruel for the saint of today may tomorrow look a ghoul and dank is the mineshaft that leads to the jewel and the honey is sweetest down deep in the hives Here’s a picture from Coroner & Knives
