Lyrics

    he is the angel with the scabbed wings
    hard-drug face, want to powder his nose
    he will deflower the freshest crop
    dry up all the wombs with his rock and roll sores
    dead
    is what he is, he does what he please
    the things that he has you'll never want to see
    what you're never gonna be now
    sketch a little keyhole for looking-glass people
    you don't want to see him
    you only want to be him
    mommy's got a scarecrow, gotta let the corn grow
    man can't always reap what he sow
    "he is the maker"
    (he is the taker)
    "he is the saviour"
    (he is the raper)
    dead
    is what he is, he does what he please
    the things that he has you'll never want to see
    what you're never gonna be now
    sketch a little keyhole for looking-glass people
    you don't want to see him
    you only want to be him
    mommy's got a scarecrow, gotta let the corn grow
    man can't always reap what he sow
    "he is the maker"
    (he is the taker)
    "he is the saviour"
    (he is the raper)
    get back you're never gonna leave him
    get back you're always gonna please him
