Testo Exquisite Corpse - Shriekback
Testo della canzone Exquisite Corpse (Shriekback), tratta dall'album Sacred City
Up the stairs, go through the cupboards, secrets are to me
The droppings of the animal, I stalk relentlessly
Nothing titillating or deliciously decayed
I guess the truth is nothing special but elusive anyway
Down on the riverbank
The watchman shines his torches
Still he sees no sign of
The exquisite corpse
He sees no sign of
The exquisite corpse
All the clues are added up to make a wider scheme
The patterns are so intricate, like opiated dreams
The characters I see are only actors in a play
A seedy TV drama to be screened around midday
I follow her to pricecheck
And get the girl to talk about
Her father and his lawyer
And the exquisite corpse
Her father and his lawyer
And the exquisite corpse
The city murmurs in its sleep, incriminating sounds
Its poisons and its weaponry are scattered all around
I know there's more to all of this than I can touch or see
It's dead and cold and dangerous but elegant to me
With burning eyes and coffee breath
And then a day in court
Still I lay fifty pences on the eyes
Of this exquisite corpse
I lay fifty pences on the eyes
Of this exquisite corpse
