Clutch

In a city of crooked alleys
Crooked-er women and wicked men
Dim lamps in the rumor mill
Suspicious kith and unkind kin
A respected general
Sleeping soldiers in the field
Below the elders conspire
To turn the muscleless and massive wheel

Strange cousins from the West
overstay their welcome

Locked in among skeletons
Broken hearted and damned
Sorry to have to break it to you friend
But life seldom goes exactly as we planned.

Strange cousins from the West
Overstay their welcome
Peculiar manner and strange dress
Who would ever dare to tell them?

The city's always starving
The hungry bellows of the minotaur
Everyday more are arriving
And everyday it requires more.

Unexpected circumstance
We must not delay
You've all been so very kind to us
And we will return the favor one day
Fate is the idiots excuse
Freedom is the sucker's dream
But we hope you find some measure of comfort
In considering us to be your family.

Strange Cousins from the West
Overstay their welcome
Peculiar manner and strange dress
Who would ever dare to tell them?

The city's always starving
The hungry bellows of the minotaur
Everyday more are arriving
And everyday it requires more.

The city's always staring
Savage bellows of the minotaur
Everyday more are arriving
And everyday it requires more.
