Finnegan's Wake

from Love Supreme by Moskau

/

lyrics

It's make or break, it's all at stake,
It was all a big mistake,
The real McCoys all turned out fake,
And all the boys just shiver and shake,
From Jimmy Joyce to Billy Blake.
Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake.

Goodnight, Irene, from what I've seen
The river’s full of benzedrine
And everything is how it's been
Since '99 behind the screen.
Since '99, night and day
Lovers love and players play.
In the merry month of May
The bill will come with hell to pay.
The bill will come, the plague will break.
Lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake.

Heaven knows you're trying hard
But you're always caught off guard
When life decides to play it's card,
As it does, with no holds barred.
No holds barred and with full force
And here you are, before the chorus,
Mixing up your metaphores.

And then it comes, the mad refrain
When all the dogs are off the chain,
With novocaine for all that pain.
Who died and made you John Coltrane?
With all that jazz and razzmatazz?

Blackjack Kerouac,
The captain calls all hands on deck.
Back on track, ship that wreck
Put it in a flour sack,
Throw it in the burning lake!
Lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake.

Lots of fun for Genghis Khan
Standing at the Rubicon,
Throwing dice for Jesus' robes
With all them other homophobes.
Deck the halls before he falls
And muddies up the overalls.
The ones he won,
That once were worn
By a certain carpenter's son.

Behind the curtain someone's hurtin'.
Who died and made you Richard Burton,
or Howard Hughes, with all that booze,
Conducting your wrecking crews?

Whores spread their legs like fucking cancer,
The captain calls there is no answer.
Back on track, ship that wreck,
The map is tattooed on your back,
You cannot see just what is drawn,
Your death, it smells like cinnamon.
Like cinnamon and honey wine
As it's crawling up your spine
Like a cold and heavy snake.
Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake.
