PISS DOWN THE STREAM
We missed the date for the garbage collection
And mommy is overdosed
Elder brother is in the house of correction
And sister’s case is closed
The coal for the winter long has been spent
Father along with the Southwind went
Damned be the money that we make in the mines
Damned be our lives and our times
It’s his worst day since yesterday
Living on Chinese rocks
He still has got hell to pay
The divorce papers were in the mailbox
They are sending their young off to war
To be maimed for country, honor and fame
Damned be your God
No matter what color or name
Ay, Flamenca
Take away the sting
Ay Flamenca
Make the floorboards sing
Ay Flamenca
Come and dance for me on the ashes of this world
Our pawn will never be redeemed
Our lives’ designs unwind
They’re bursting at the seam
A dream is a dream is a dream
It’s all piss down the stream
Her life smashed like a fly on the windshield
She’s throwing pennies in boiled gin
There’s a torn blouse in the canola field
A bloody bundle in the bin
It’s the day of black dresses
Airing out in the sun
Black holes hard against white chalked walls
There goes another one
Ay, Flamenca
Toss that mourning ring
Ay Flamenca
Make this poor boy king
Ay Flamenca
Come and dance for me on the ashes of this world
Iron will sooner breaks than bends
Nobody’s ever going to make amends
In this broken scheme
A dream is a dream is a dream
It’s all piss down the stream
Oh life, oh life, oh life, oh life
You’ve got me hanging on the line
Oh life, oh life, oh life, oh life, oh life, oh life
I look at my reflection
In the pawn shop window
Where I leave this heart of mine
And tomorrow the spine
Ay, Flamenca
Make those pillars swing
And bring them down with everything
Ay, Flamenca
Come and stir up the dust that remains of this world
I always hoped I would sleep through the wake
But there isn’t one when you’re burnt at the stake
A dream is a dream is a dream is a dream
A dream is a dream is a dream is a dream
A dream is a dream is a dream
