Right Hand

from Escape from Leptonia by Quark Lepton

lyrics

Your righthand man is failing you
And everyone doubts your prevailing view
You're stuck in the swamps under lock and key
On the run from the law and attached to me

The dogs they all howl and the hangman says
Better run for your life better say your prayers
Better hide the knife and hie you home
Or get lost in the sea dead and all alone

The ghosts and the wind and the Furies moan
And arrhythmias attack your bones
And you'll hide yourself and be redeemed
In the muck and the mud and St. Elmo's steam
And you know all this you've heard before
It's a fairy tale but it still might be true

And now your silent bones in a silent grave
And if you're strong enough, will you still be saved?
You followed the plan, you saw it through
It's a fairy tale but it still might be true.
