In a city of crooked alleys<br />
Crookeder women and wicked men<br />
Dim lamps in the rumor mill<br />
Suspicious kith and unkind kin<br />
<br />
Haruspectre General<br />
Sleeping soldiers in the field<br />
Below the elders conspire<br />
To turn the merciless and massive wheel<br />
<br />
Strange cousins from the west<br />
Overstay their welcome<br />
<br />
Locked in among skeletons<br />
Broken hearted and damned<br />
Sorry to have to break it to you friend<br />
But life seldom goes exactly as we plan<br />
<br />
Strange cousins from the west<br />
Overstay their welcome<br />
Peculiar manner and strange dress<br />
Who will ever dare to tell them?<br />
<br />
The city's always thriving<br />
Hungry bellows of the Minotaur<br />
Everyday more are arriving<br />
And everyday it requires more<br />
<br />
Unexpected circumstance<br />
We must not delay<br />
You have all been so very, very kind to us<br />
And we will return the favor one day<br />
<br />
Fate is the idiot's excuse<br />
Freedom is the sucker's dream<br />
But we hope you find some measure of comfort<br />
In considering us to be your family<br />
<br />
Strange cousins from the west<br />
Overstay their welcome<br />
Peculiar manner and strange dress<br />
Who will ever dare to tell them?<br />
<br />
The city's always thriving<br />
Hungry bellows of the Minotaur<br />
Everyday more are arriving<br />
And everyday it requires more<br />
<br />
The city's always thriving<br />
Savage bellows of the Minotaur<br />
Everyday more are arriving<br />
And everyday it requires more<br /><br />
