Clutch - Child Of The City Lyrics

Child of the city
Mother of the earth
Baptism by firefly
Pinch a parson's purse

Queen of Cups
The Joker's blade is old and dull
Child of the city
Yet it slices us with the nicest miracles

Babe in the wilderness
Father of Creation
Spinning of the wind
The gathering of nations

Professor on the toadstool
Convene your class
Babe in the wilderness
In absentia, please show your hands
And your feet, are you touched by a beast?
Wash yourself, live your life
Take the earth as your wife

False idol raiser
Play the town
Count up your blessings
And melt it down

Immortal dominator
Governor of the world
Sic semper tyrannis
The fisher and the pearl

The bearer of this letter is a charlatan
Immortal dominator
In absentia, please show your hands and your feet
And your feet, are you touched by a beast?
Wash yourself, live your life
Take the earth as your wife

False idol raiser
Play the town
Count up your blessings
And melt it down

All your money now, kid
All your money now, kid
All your money now, kid
All your money
