lyrics

Always certain trades must be made
Always, always
Always certain trades must be made
Always, Always

The obsequious paige-boy must be hung by his feet
If the municipal lord doesn't find you in bed with your lover
The painter will never see a thing's simple color
Those who dream must awake with insects in their ears

Always certain trades must be made
Always, always
Always certain trades must be made
Always, Always

The drug-sniffing dog won't stop for the flower
Always, always
A credulous mind is that of the ad copywriter
Always, always
Always this with that, keeping obscure balance
Alone, always alone
Through the moment, the certainty
Of the absurdity embedded in glory
And the moment of cruelty
That's part of any good story

Always certain trades must be made
Always, always
Always certain trades must be made
Always, Always
