Soul Coughing - Murder Of Lawyer- Live Version lyrics

(Note: These are not the lyrics of the recorded version, but of an

Ealier version the band once performed live.)

(M. Doughty)

A murder of lawyers in overcoats.

A murder of lawyers in overcoats.

A murder of lawyers in overcoats, shoulders up, heads slung low,

Looking like a swarm of M's swarming the crosswalk. Looking up at a

Window on the forty-fourth floor. Blueeyed Jew Mystic from a rhythm

Section, his hands cupped around the dignified hijiki of human speech.

Muslim baritones idle with their hands down.

And the gat that fattens your jacket pocket

Plugs slugs in vain

Through the body of the immaterial witness.

And that which is Ugly and feeds on The Law comes into the conference

Room singing federal jargon. Their necks are covered in chocolatey

Growths. Spat up an eyeful of steam in the lumber yard parking lot.

Written in her own shit with a ground down fork.

Written in her own shit with a ground down fork

Written in her own shit with a ground down fork.

Written in her own shit with a ground down fork.
