M. Black Enters the Village

We'll sing welcome to the you stranger, we've prepared a place
where you can lay your weary head
Come sing fa la la la la and welcome to the new year
and think of all the tears we've shed
We've been fighting for honour and glory and power
we've been fighting all year long
and in the midst of it all we've lost all sight
of our joyous happy songs...
get out of here ghost...

Well I think it's time we got out of this town, and let's quit while we're ahead
I've seen enough movies to know this time tomorrow one of us will be dead
and it won't be me...it won't be me NO IT WON'T BE ME! get out of here ghost!

We've been kicking and screaming with bags over our heads
suffocating in your sweet lies
And the choir of angels in the church loft sing their choruses
and alibis
For the years we've lost in this little town,
all the days and the months can't compare
Let's gather around, gather around brothers
gather around town square...
we'll sing, "get out, get out, this fight is over. get out, get out, while there's still time!"

we've been fighting tooth and nail...tooth and nail to the end...to our bitter end
