The last two lines of the 3 verse are missing, I don't really under stand them cause I'm
but the chords are E and B, thats why the last chorus starts with B
Reflections of the Marionette (Two Gallants)
Intro: 2x
1.
call the dogs and sound the horns
the city key of where i’s born
has been stolen by someone I thought I knew
she blew in with some angel dust
from southern state where love is lust
and I hope she’s gone by the time this song is through
but out among the passers by she wets her lips sweats her eyes
baits her tongue with pity for her prey
she transcends the avenue while she smiles at me she winks to you
I guess I’ll take my place in yesterday
Refrain:
and darlin' I cant wait for you to leave this town
you just got here too late and no one wants you ‘round
with one foot on my back and the other on the rail
I don’t want to see you fall I just want to see you fail
2.
well the night is sweet the night’s divine
it stains your teeth with blood red wine
and leaves you lying in your enemy’s arms
and while you mumble down the hall
something ‘bout a skin made wall
you find you’re just a sucker for her charms
‘cause the vanity that cakes her face sucks you into death’s embrace
you feel your sense of self just fade away
see you’re just a one man show and once you’re done its time to go
hear some restless footsteps down the way
Refrain:
and darlin' I cant wait for you to leave this town
you just got here too late and no one wants you ‘round
with one foot on my back and the other on the rail
I don’t want to see you fall I just want to see you fail
Bridge: 2x
3.
now the youth protests the failing light
with his shirt sleeves rolled in the humid night
he wonders where it was that he went wrong
and in denial while he ascends
to her lofty room where all dreams end
he watches while his footsteps lead him on
but his turn comes the next in line
the well worn steps he slowly climbs
to find her lying meat-hooks on display
and in the streets the sirens sing
what word they tell what news they bring
the puppet in his cuffs of string obeys
Refrain:
and darlin' I cant wait for you to leave this town
you just got here too late and no one wants you ‘round
with one foot on my back and the other on the rail
I don’t want to see you fall I just want to see you fail
I don’t want to see you fall I just want to see you fail
