10,000 Maniacs - Drawbridge lyrics
[Aesop Rock and Dose One]
 This is not your ordinary ballad
 With a perfect little bow around the middle
 And a black man on a white horse
 Or a white man on a black horse
 It's got all these tired parts where
 We don't even sing at random
 Princess, raise the drawbridge
 We don't serve your kind
 It ends where it begins
 And the beginning isn't pretty
 Can't forget that not-so-perfect 
 Bow around the middle ('round the middle, 'round the middle...)
 Har-bour (???) [said like har-bow?]
And it goes a little something like this..
 [Aesop Rock]
 New walk in a broken sole (???), pedigree incessant
 Got (Gut?) the cruddy (???) frame
 The zealots enveloped inside the belly of the blame
 Cut-throats the result of pope jokes soaked in poacher constants
 And now the jewel emits cold, wander prominent.. honour (honour)
 I bought up silkworms by the bucket like starter kits
 So you first bought a stitch 
 Joined damaged mammoth brigading caper
 Nurse the tantrum with a fantasy chaser
 I keep the spare wings strapped to my fuses
 In case the hackers snatch the plumage
 [Dose One]
 So you mean these things are worth money
 Now drifting off
 This is the who-you-calling-homeless
 Mock me fearful
 Twisted ???? ???? and I got front row seats at the d-d-d-d-dead concert
 And you're in it, Ichabod (???)
 Running out of most (???) from the Alamo (???) we're moseying 
 My kind of people ???? ???? ???? ???? moseying (???)
 With my eyes patched ???? ???? ???? universe
 So I back it and gave my verdict (???) ???? ???? ???? ????
 [Aesop Rock]
 Oh it'll be soon (real soon)
 ???? ???? immune to doom blends
 I eat ditch (???) in the kitchen 'til every spoon bends
 A glance along tomorrow, sorry
 Looking not at hopefuls (???), where's the raindance
 My little flint never dreamed would flood unpotable
 See I sanitize nothing for the sake of contemporary taste
 Contemporary taste made my lip drop in the first place (incoming)
 Hmm, yo why not be a czar, analyze fallen heroics
 Recognize root of the worship, search and hold it
 Who put the fun in dysfunctional? I..
 Chronicle sun combustible, donkey-punching pinholes10,000 Maniacs - Drawbridge - http://motolyrics.com/10000-maniacs/drawbridge-lyrics.html
 In uncomfortables and conjunctionals for good (good)
 Dr-rink up, slop a goblet of dirt wine (???),
 I nurse a single application of introvert, serpentine
 [Dose One]
 Now a sunset without a scrape of red an-an-and plastic bag
 Now sunk around his head (???) sick-sick-sick-sick... (???)
 ???? ???? ????
 The sickness likeness in the roofer's eyes and his alone
 And nothing terrible happened to the bag
 ???? ???? ???? ???? ????...
 And brought on out...
 And clouds...
 The hiss cuts out... (???)
 Suppose it's noise...
 And the piano...
 And the window frrraame... (???)
 Sky and dirt that's fresh... kept
 From where I'm going... holy other
 Holy other, holy other, holy other...
 [Aesop Rock]
 B-B-B-B-B-But
 I've got charcoals in my heart, I've got charcoals in my heart
 I've got charcoals by the armfuls that burn my armor apart
 I've got charcoals in my heart, but I've got charcoals in my heart
 I've got charcoals by the armfuls that burn my armor apart
 [Dose One]
 And before, when I said 'Shut the fuck up, it's none of your business'
 That was to be in vain
 You shoulda locked that up when you're all finished
 Finished yet? Now uhm...
 I usually finish this number with uh... my skull up (???)
 [Aesop Rock]
 Everybody rally around the novel burners, spit, murder the matches
 Where the junkies trade diseases and the gullible trade passions
 Then the masses wanna lean on me like 'O Captain, my Captain'
 Not considering maybe this oarman hosts orbit attachments...
 [Dose One]
 Button, button, who's got the button (???)
 Take my name, please...
 Button, button, who's got the button (???)
 Leaks the little checker-men made out of lightning in my ????
 Oh, you like to help with goats (?!?) see what I got in this here locket
 [Aesop Rock and Dose One]
 This is not your ordinary ballad
 With a perfect little bow around the middle
 And a black man on a white horse
 Or a white man on a black horse
 And I can't forget the not-so-perfect bow around the middle 
 Har-bour (???)
