Gnome and Fortune

Lyrics: Enzo Covey Legge/Kristo Langker/Linus Rayson Hilton Music: Enzo Covey Legge/Kristo Langker/Linus Rayson Hilton Snake-eyed ivories lock eyes with men Who piss themselves in glee Creatures of want, victims of sloth, creatures of envy These men aren't sick, they're tuckered out From dancing, drinking, f**king, feasting with the Gods ah-ha ha ha ha! The gnome understands, boy Leave shame at the door Heirlooms borrowed and stolen A fair game, and he is hung Lords and peons from every port Bark in my harbour of chance Offering what they can Howling at a paper moon Poor town Toiled bride The night breaks so quick Leaving fragments of your heart As urchins and spines, urchins and spines know my name My face is known in most references To moguls, priests, vagrants, the hungry or well-fed And even the policeman knows my name I'm never coming home I'm gonna stay here Men here helped themselves to laurel trees Hiding from their life Hiding from shame Stopped by their debts Haunted by regrets As their hoots lap up the fun I pick their fruit, I know they want, I ate the seeds As they come to as a star The gnome understands, boy You see neighbours swallowed whole by my carpeted floors, my colourful gaze, my opulent fitments Tell me are you still entranced by the gleaming fox's promise The deadbeat dreaming out loud Poor town Toiled bride The night breaks so quick Leaving fragments of your heart As urchins and spines, urchins and spines know my name My face is known in most references To moguls, priests, vagrants, the hungry or well-fed And even the policeman knows my name Mom, I'm never coming home I'm gonna stay with that gnome
