Two Dead Boys

Hmmm [Verse 1] Ladies and gentlemen, skinny and stout, Hear a tale I spin, a twisted shroud. The admission is free, though the cost is high, [Pre-chorus] So pull up a chair, watch the shadows fly. [Chorus] On a day born of darkness, in the heart of the night, Two dead boys rose, locked in a bitter fight. Back to back, they stood, their blades raised high, And in their death throes, they both did die. [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse 2] The blind man came, to witness the fray, The mute man shouted, 'Hooray! Hooray!' A deaf policeman, he heard the commotion, [Pre-chorus] And came to stop these undead in motion. [Chorus] On a day born of darkness, in the heart of the night, Two dead boys rose, locked in a bitter fight. Back to back, they stood, their blades raised high, And in their death throes, they both did die. [Instrumental Interlude] [Build] He lived on a corner, in a vacant lot, Two stories high, with a roof full of rot. A man with no legs, with a phantom stride, Kicked the policeman, in his bleeding side. [Chorus] On a day born of darkness, in the heart of the night, Two dead boys rose, locked in a bitter fight. Back to back, they stood, their blades raised high, And in their death throes, they both did die. [Instrumental Interlude] [Outro] He crashed through a wall, in a silent refrain, Fell to a dry creek, and perished in pain. A black hearse arrived, to take him away, But he ran for his life, and is missing today. From the corner I watched, the only one who knew, The truth of this tale, twisted and untrue. So if you doubt my words, though they seem absurd, Ask the blind man, he saw every word. [End]
