Walking down the crooked mile
(argh!) Smiling with a jagged smile
Counting steps in twelve-eight time Flesh and bone,
a perfect crime
Swing the axe, keep the beat Blood and brass on the concrete
(yeah!) We dance in the dark of the breakdown
Take a breath, play the chord Scream of the saxophone lord Slipping
through the syncopation Total,
utter devastation
Swing! (ungh!)
Swing down the hammer!
