Marc Almond - Jackal Jackal Lyrics
I dived into the poolThe cool, the blue from heatThe sun breathes fireOn marrakeshTo burn the busy streetMy brow the wet of feverMy throat the dry of sandThrough passageways to dead endsA gauntlet of the handsJackal jackalRise of hackleRow of tombstone teethTake me to the labyrinthThe palace of the thiefThe shaking of the busThe ragged boys a chantingMy temple pounds with sights and soundsThe stamping and the dancingMy body feels so dizzyAs cobra snakes unwindDark hands dart to my pocketsFor anything theyll findOh let me lead you, take you feed youTo the hungry soukMonkey grins and caiman skinsEyes so wiseAnd smile so youngJackal jackalRise of hackleRow of tombstone teethTake me to the labyrinthThe palace of the thiefMy face on the pavementThe grit deep in my skinArms around my shouldersThe grazing of my skinAnd he watches the sun go upHe watches the sun go downI dived into the poolI dived in deep to drownJackal jackalRise of hackleRow of tombstone teethTake me to the labyrinthThe palace of the thief
