Hounds of Hell

Federal infirmary
Cuckoos counting the clock
Helicopter choppers
And interstate police

My baby was thin skinned
Brain drained and paranoid

The cops came to the place
Knocking like street busters
I was sitting cosey like ghostbusters
Door frame, and the letter of the law

This game no more
Dont need to provoke or prove a point
Leave me be
This tribe has had its time
I'm moving off
Where the sunset goes
