Through all of the highways, the byways I’ve travelled   Through all of the sidestreets and alleys of sin   Through all that’s been heard nothing sinks quite as low   As the prominent statements of prominent men      Prominent men tell prominent stories   Prominent men tell prominent lies   Prominent men kiss the ass of dame fortune   Prominent men will tear out your eyes      The streets that have life with the cat’s underbelly   Aligned with their tracks of a thousand good-byes   A poor woman screams with the heat of disaster   As the prominent men sit and strengthen their ties      Oh, the prominent girls of the prominent people   Make prominent dresses and prominent hair   Oh, their prominent wealth and their eyes blazed with shadow   The prominent horrors with the ghost millionaire      The shiny stained window now cracked at sunset   They shiny red dawn of the heart soon must fall   This simply occurred at the seat of the cauldron   Those prominent men hadn’t been there at all      Prominent men tell prominent stories   Prominent men tell prominent lies   Prominent men kiss the ass of dame fortune   Prominent men will tear out your eyes      Oh, the prominent child of these prominent people   Seeks prominent schools with the finery of age   With a prominent pink of a tasteless red orchid   The prominent men casts a prominent heir      The child of the agent walks barefoot upon grass   He screams with a power that terror’s green eyes   His knife harshly glistening, stabs noways and always   But those prominent men in nowhere in sight      Prominent men tell prominent stories   Prominent men tell prominent lies   Prominent men kiss the ass of dame fortune   Prominent men will tear out your eyes
