lyrics

In the town where you were born, there lives a man with crooked arms.

And when you go any visit him he'll tell you all the things he thinks you should have become.

Oh and if you go, go with one ear closed.

Oh and if you go, just pretend you've always known

you don't want to hear, you don't want to hear,

what he knows.


He lives in a crooked house, cos that's where crooked people live.

Oh and he does some crooked things that he will say you should have learned how to forgive.

Oh ad if you go, you'll see a mirror in his eyes.

Oh and if you go, you'll learn forgiveness has its price.

You don't want to hear, you don't want to hear,

how high.


When you meet his crooked wife she'll serve you up the kind of thing you've never seen.

And when she asks you how it tastes you'll find you never learned the words for what you need.

Oh and if you say, “I only meant to stay a while”

Oh she'll just nod her head, and she'll give a crooked smile

cos there are things noone can chose,

or reconcile.


And it's a twisted chimney frame where only smoke can turn and find it's way out free.

And this twisted pair exhale, and tell you tales of who and what you're supposed to be.

Oh and if you say, “I wasn't asking for advice”

oh and if you say “I'm only here cos it's polite'

We'll he'll tell you that there is no way to leave.

He'll say he's there to help you look back and to grieve.

He'll say that pity doesn't do you favours twice,

and that you and I are only here

cos every man has his price.
