lyrics

Lyrics:

They are running on the rooftops just outside of town
When they reach the edge they will all fall down
That’s for not watching their step

Mayor of town wears gloves made of canine skin
As he waltzes right through all the trouble he put us in
Back to the old folks home where he pats the cat

Book of Revelations has been torn apart
Still angels are in there screaming in my heart
Please God come save me from religion

[Chorus]
If you’ve got plans tonight you better be on the lookout
I’ve heard they’re releasing hound dogs
To chase their people in the street

Bloke of the TV goes in the commercial zone
I can have the world if I just dial up his phone
That’s good I admit it that’s good

Have you gone out to see the sale they have downtown
From what I can tell it is oh so mighty fine
Two souls for the price of one

So the head of commerce has turned up the heat
Next to fire where he places his feet
Lies ten million millions of spare change

[Chorus]
If you’ve got plans tonight you better be on the lookout
I’ve heard they’re releasing hound dogs
To chase their people in the street

Well I know a guy who takes it with ease
When there is soup for the hero and cheese for the thief
That’s right the man is a priest

If you fight this law you will be placed behind bars
Murder a thousand and you can ride a separate car
With the kings and the queens and the fairies

Sometimes I wish I could step into the light
But the demons who come to my bed every night
They tell me I am not worthy

[Chorus]
If you’ve got plans tonight you better be on the lookout
I’ve heard they’re releasing hound dogs
To chase their people in the street
