Child of the City

Child of the city
Mother of the Earth
Baptism by firefly
Pinch a parson’s purse
Queen of Cups the Joker’s blade is old and dull
Child of the City
Yet it slices us with the nicest miracles
Babe in the wilderness
Father of Creation
Spinning of the wind
The gathering of nations
Professor on the Toadstool convene your class
Babe in the wilderness
In absentia, please show your hands
And your feet
Are you touched by a beast?
Wash yourself, live your life
Take the Earth as your wife
False idol raiser
Play the town
Count up your blessings
And melt it down
Immortal dominator
Governor of the World
Sic semper tyrannis
The fisher and the pearl
The bearer of this letter is a charlatan
Immortal dominator
In absentia, please show your hands
And your feet
Are you touched by a beast?
Wash yourself, live your life
Take the Earth as your wife
False idol raiser
Play the town
Count up your blessings
And melt it down
All your money now, kid
All your money now, kid
All your money now, kid
All your money
