Constantines - On To You lyrics

rate me

The architects are choking out another hollow tooth<br />

And the rooms have all been rented from the gutter to the roof<br />

In the heart of a city desire finds its fuel<br />

You go out looking for trouble, sooner or later and the trouble finds you<br />

<br />

Here the men walk like pigeons<br />

And the women all talk loud<br />

Skin's a coin of the kingdom<br />

Everybody's lonesome<br />

The wild boys say<br />

'I'm onto you'<br />

<br />

So to hell with the mill sallow chorus<br />

Lift you body out of exile<br />

Come bend to the outlaw arrow<br />

Come let me under you veil<br />

They might say love is only trouble<br />

We're both too drunk to steer it<br />

We may never be angels<br />

But we're lousy with the spirit<br />

<br />

Here the men walk like pigeons<br />

And the women all talk loud<br />

Skin's a coin of the kingdom<br />

Everybody's lonesome<br />

The diamond girls say<br />

'I'm onto you'<br />

<br />

And the streets say<br />

'I'm onto you'<br />

And the night say<br />

'I'm onto you'<br />

And the lovers say<br />

'I'm onto you'<br />

<br />

In the fire of my youth<br />

We were racing with the sun<br />

Kissing in the churchyard<br />

I knew a righteous woman
