Murder City Devils – Bride Of The Elephant Man lyrics

I danced with the bride of the elephant man and she whispered
You'll always be, just a fool in the shadow
Without a face, without a story of your own
You'll always be, just a rube at the window
Staring like an asshole, with a quarter in your fist
In line, at the Corinthian Hall
With a ticket, with a ticket in your hand
Do you hear the knocking, on the ceiling, on the walls
Well Margaret Fox, I would have kept your secret
I know the secret, I know it's in your toes
We said Margaret are you the one, or should we, look for another
And then we chased you, we chased you from the hall
And then we chased you, chased you from the hall
John Merrick, may your prayers, your prayers are all heard first
Margaret Fox, I would have kept your secret, your prayers, your prayers are all heard first
All heard first
You'll always be just a fool in the shadow
Without a face, without a story of your own
Of your own
Staring like an asshole, with a quarter in your first
Tell me John, tell me I'm forgiven
Don't be angry, when you meet your maker
