Erase the Sun Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Offices and fountains they named for you
Stacks and zealots wither in shit-filled rooms
Hari-karis barely a tear for you
Hairy fairies spinning the golden looms
[Chorus]
Wake up the ghosts and lepers
Aching in their slavery smoke
Delinquent hygiene's atrocious
We'll shoot out the great white crescent
We'll shoot out the great white crescent
[Verse 2]
Fisticuffs and zithers of Zanzibar
Body pills and shiver and caviar
Dazzlements and accidents body's chart
Choice cut meats of derelict boulevards
[Chorus]
Wake up the ghosts and lepers
Aching in their slavery smoke
Delinquent hygiene's atrocious
We'll shoot out the great white crescent
We'll shoot out the great white crescent
Offices and fountains they named for you
Stacks and zealots wither in shit-filled rooms
Hari-karis barely a tear for you
Hairy fairies spinning the golden looms
[Chorus]
Wake up the ghosts and lepers
Aching in their slavery smoke
Delinquent hygiene's atrocious
We'll shoot out the great white crescent
We'll shoot out the great white crescent
[Verse 2]
Fisticuffs and zithers of Zanzibar
Body pills and shiver and caviar
Dazzlements and accidents body's chart
Choice cut meats of derelict boulevards
[Chorus]
Wake up the ghosts and lepers
Aching in their slavery smoke
Delinquent hygiene's atrocious
We'll shoot out the great white crescent
We'll shoot out the great white crescent
[Chorus]
Wake up the ghosts and lepers
Aching in their slavery smoke
Delinquent hygiene's atrocious
We'll shoot out the great white crescent
We'll shoot out the great white crescent
Wake up the ghosts and lepers
Aching in their slavery smoke
Delinquent hygiene's atrocious
We'll shoot out the great white crescent
We'll shoot out the great white crescent
