> I went out walking the other day
> The wind hung wet around my neck
> My head it rung with screams and groans
> >From the night I spent amongst her bones
> I past beside the mission house
> Where that mad old buzzard, the reverend,
> Shrieked and flapped about life after your dead
> Well, I thought about my friend, Michel
> How they rolled him in linoleum
> And shot him in the neck
> A bloody halo, like a think-bubble
> Circling his head
> And I bellowed at the firmament

> Fm
> And I came upon a little house
> A little house upon a hill
> And I entered through, the curtain hissed
> Into the house with its blood-red bowels
> Where wet-lipped women with greasy fists
> Crawled the ceilings and the walls
> They filled me full of drink
> And led me round the rooms
> Naked and cold and grinning
> Until everything went black
> And I came down spinning
> I awoke so drunk and full of rage
> That I could hardly speak
> A fag in a whale-bone corset
> Draping his dick across my cheek
> And its into the shame
> And its into a guilt
> And its into the fucking fray
> And the walls ran red around me
> A warm arterial spray
> Saying
> Papa won't leave you, Henry
> Papa won't leave you, Boy
> Papa won't leave you, Henry
> Papa won't leave you, Boy
> Well, the night is dark
> And the night is deep
> And its jaws are open wide
> But Papa won't leave you, Henry
> So there ain't no need to cry

> Repeat verse/chorus structure over the last verse/chorus.

> This version represents the live seeds version more than the Henry's dream version because the HD
