Blues, blues everywhere but no one left to sing

from Rough cuts from Sing Sing by Kinch Kinski and the Strangers

/

lyrics

They tell the secrets 'bout the people who are under the floor
Tell the secrets to the men who knock, knock at the door
Tell the secrets 'bout the people in the attics and walls
Tell the tiny little secrets to the men at the door

“Their moaning woke the sleepers
Should have buried the bodies deeper”
“In time you'll find the sleepers
Sleep through without a peep, sir”

The sun turns black
But no bells ring
People, tell you people there's
Blues, blues everywhere, but no-one left to sing

And in their new home they've got helpful little signs on the door
And in their new home they've got piles of children's shoes in the hall
And in their new home they've got helpful little signs on the door
And in their new home there's a stench that seeps and sticks in your pores

“The number's don't add up, sir”
“Well, you're gonna have to work a little harder
Or else the man up top, sir
Will come down: lay off this worker”

They escape by turning into smoke, and sink beneath the sea's black ropes.
