Cold Blue Steel Sweet Fire

                           (slide)

       Cold Blue Steel out of mon-ey,   one eye for the beat po-lice

   Sweet Fire call-ing, “You can’t de- -ny me,”

        “Now you know what you need”

   Un-der-neath the jun-gle gym, hollow grew fire es-cape  thief

   Look-ing for Sweet Fire,    shad-ow of La-dy Release

   “Come with me, I  know the way,” she says

   “It’s down, down, down the dark ladder”

     “Do you want to  con- tact somebody first? Leave some-one a let- ter”

   “You can come  now or you   can come la- ter”

A wristwatch, a ring, a downstairs screamer
Edgy-black cracks of the sky
“Pin-cushion-prick, fix this poor bad dreamer!”
“Money,” cold shadows reply
Pawn shops crisscrossed and padlocked
Corridors spit on prayers and pleas
Black soot of Lady Release
“Come with me, I know the way,” she says
“It’s down, down, down the dark ladder
Do you want to contact somebody first?
I mean, does it really matter if you come now
Or if you come later?”

Red water in the bathroom sink
Fever and the scum brown bowl
Blue Steel still begging, but it’s indistinct
Someone’s Hi-Fi drumming jelly-roll
Concrete concentration camp, bashing in veins for peace
Cold Blue Steel and Sweet Fire fall into Lady Release
“Come with me, I know the way,” she says
“It’s down, down, down the dark ladder
Do you want to contact somebody first?
I mean, what does it really matter?
You’re going to come now
Or you’re going to come on later”
