Three ghouls were playing whist
By an eerie green storm lantern,
in the swirling mist.
By an eerie green storm lantern,
how could I resist?
By an eerie green storm lantern,
that's the night we kissed.
How you gonna get right
down that spiral stair case?
How you gonna get right
down them spiraling stairs?
Down below the cobbles shine,
it's a sixty foot drop from
yours to mine
Better make it sixty -n ine
All your mistakes come and
jabber round your bed side
They brush your sleeves
with loathsome tentacles
They even try to kiss you,
like rotting nurses,
curses, curses.
I'll tuck you in sweetie,
says your biggest mis take.
And af ter your mistakes,
in come your failures,
as only failures can
They look at you reproachfully,
like a face in a frying pan
They sit there so dejected,
till their heads fall in
their laps
And then they bubble
feebly at the lips
And their bones protrude right through
their hips
You look
ing for a taxi
Well, you picked the wrong
place for a tax i
You're a fool,
you're down with the ghouls
An d they know all about you,
sweetie
Sunken eyes and bulging
green veins
Thin, translucent fingers
always give the game away.
See the hearts of little fishes
pumping through that grey skin.
Or is it the mercury in the veins?
Two males and one female,
no pulse, no heartbeat,
no I .D.
Not a good night to be a red tomato
On a long green stalk
Not a good night to be a red tomato
Let's sit down and talk
Buy an eerie green storm lantern
Pull up a chair, why don't you?
We can send up for some straw
if you'd be more comfortable
Maybe we could rustle up a bean bag
Buy an eerie green storm lantern
Lisa, get Mr. Gerald some
dry stuff
Take off your hat, Mr. Jarrell,
take off your shoes,
take off your skirt,
how do you feel now?
Let's get really comfortable here
By an eerie green storm
I could to be a red tomato
Take off your glasses
Feel my voice vibrating
through your leg
By the eerie green storm
that's nearly close
Mr. Jar rell, Mr. Jarrell,
Mr. Jarrell, Mr. Jarrell
Are these your pips?
By an eerie green storm lantern
Three ghouls were playing wis p
By an eerie green storm lantern
By an eerie green storm lantern
How could I resist?
By an eerie green storm lantern
That's the night we kissed
Yeah.
By an eerie green storm lantern.
By an eerie green storm lantern.
By an eerie green storm lantern.
