lyrics

the dapper judas reaches back and slaps the students
he says the mutt was an american man
well he howls and he puffs after all that he can touch
but his arms are never so long as his hands

the troubled leper shuts his eyes and does some guesswork
so carefully with confidence and crayons
saying, daily my allegiance goes to gardens where graffiti grows
and choirs of competing moans command

that same troubled leper says it is not just the effort
it will take to finally make my stand
it's a different colour collar and a hundred thousand dollars
for a decent piece of arable land

chorus:
where the grass grows wild over every merry mile
and danny schlemmer sleeps out in the van
there comes a long soft sigh on the wind for you and I
and the good fruit is a-bend at every branch

the hapless maiden looking back at bed she's laid in
says i've yet to meet the man who knows
well they tell me between heavy breaths that darling after god and death
i long to know what's hid beneath your clothes

and the self appointed middle man approaches with his brittle hands
says i don't ever go that close
but i wish there were a lover or someone i could lean on
and tell them i know something that they don't

and i would lie, lie, lie if it makes you feel alright
it ain't worth the wait to lay alone
but if you have to stay, i will return someday
with every little thing that I stole

chorus....
