Them Lyrics by Jim Caroll

Them Lyrics

    They hit you with their papers when you're living
    On loan. they're the ones who say nothing when you
    Answer the phone. you see them in the alleys when
    You're passing late at night, but you tell your friend
    To check it and there's no one in sight.
    I never wanted it
    I never asked for it
    I surely didn't sleep with them
    If the phone rings, don't answer it

    Death is their only way to survive
    The neck of anubis strangled by wire

    They hold their eyes in their fist
    One is fire . . . one is ice
    They roll them across the bed like some loaded dice

    7 come 11 but i could not stay
    I kissed her eyes on the sheets
    I took a bus to yesterday

    Their flesh is a cemetery, centuries old . . .
    You are free as a lap dog
    Just do what you're told

    They wear spandex and gloves
    And feed on fetus flesh
    They're the fashion rage
    Of the empirical age

    But i never wanted them
    Never asked for them
    Didn't sleep with them
    Please don't answer it

    Death is their only way to get high
    The neck of anubis strangled by wire

    They say, "i'll live for your sins
    If you will die for mine . . ."

    I'll summon the darkness
    If you buy the wine

    They're all underage
    Yet they're a thousand years old

    They make you feel so clever while you're being sold
