The Bewlay Brothers

And so the story goes, they wore the clothes
They said the things to make it seem improbable
The whale of a lie like the hope it was

And the goodmen tomorrow had their feet in the wallow

And their heads of brawn were nicely shorn

And how they bought their positions with saccharin and trust
And the world was asleep to our latent fuss

Sighing, they swirl through the streets like the crust of the sun

The Bewlay
Brothers
In our wings that bark
Flashing teeth of brass
Standing tall in the dark
Oh, and we were gone
Hanging out with your dwarf men
We were so turned on
By your lack of conclusions

I was stone and he was wax
So he could scream and still relax, unbelievable

And we frightened the small children away

And our talk was old and dust would flow
Through our veins and lo! It was midnight back at the kitchen door

Like the grim face on the cathedral floor
And the solid book we wrote cannot be found today

And it was stalking time for the moonboys
The Bewlay Brothers
With our backs on the arch

And the Devil may be here
But he can't sing about that

Oh, and we were gone
Real cool traders
We were so turned on
You thought we were fakers

Now the dress is hung, the ticket pawned
The factor max that proved the fact is melted down
And woven on the edging of my pillow

And my brother lays upon the rocks
He could be dead, he could be not, he could be you

He's chameleon, comedian, Corinthian and caricature

Shooting up pie-in-the-sky

The Bewlay Brothers
In the feeble and the bad

The Bewlay Brothers
In the blessed and cold
In the crutch-hungry dark
Was where we flayed our mark

Oh, and we were gone
Kings of oblivion

We were so turned on
In the mind-warp pavilion

Lay me place and bake me pie
I'm starving for me gravy
Leave my shoes, and door unlocked
I might just slip away, hey

Just for the day, (hey) hey
Please come away, hey
Just for the day, hey
Please come away, hey
Please come away
Just for the day
Please come away
Please come away
Please come away
Please come away
Away
Away
