Arab Strap Kebabylon
[Verse 1]
I see through your swagger, I sweep up your sickness
I find what is lost and thrown away
I stoop for your secrets, I bend for your blood
I kill corruption, so it lives another day
[Verse 2]
I'm a wallflower in the darkness in fireproof clothes
Undercover, undervalued, underpaid
I ride the edges and the cracks, I see behind the curtain
I am invisible, I am your moonlight maid
[Chorus]
Sifting through the streets of Kebabylon
Chasing down the ghosts of indiscretion and lust
These empty, filthy streets are where I belong
Down among the devilry, down in the dust
[Verse 3]
And you're already dreaming as I claw up your condom
As your syringe cracks underneath my boot
You've crashed on the couch, passed out on the porch
Such a lover, such a liar, such a brute
And with the evidence destroyed, your sleep will be sound
I'm your angel, your accomplice, and look what I've found
[Chorus]
Sifting through the streets of Kebabylon
Chasing down the ghosts of indiscretion and lust
These empty, filthy streets are where I belong
Down among the devilry, down in the dust
[Post-Chorus]
So join me on the streets of Kebabylon
We can find a story for the ages tonight
These empty, filthy streets are where I belong
Always trying hard to outrun the light
