Bride Of The Elephant Man - The Murder City Devils

I danced with the bride of The Elephant Man and she whispered

You’ll always be

Just a fool in the shadows

Without a face

Without a story of your own

You’ll always be

Just a rube at the window

Staring like an asshole

With a quarter in your fist

In line

At the Corinthian Hall

With a ticket

With a ticket in your hand

Do you hear the knocking

On the ceiling, on the walls?

Well Margaret Fox

I would have kept your secret

I know the secret

I know it’s in your toes

We said Margaret are you the one, or should we

Look for another

And then we chased you

We chased you from the hall

And then we chased you

We chased you from the hall

John Merrick

Your prayers

Your prayers are all heard first

Margaret Fox

I would have kept your secret

Your prayers are all heard first

All heard first

You’ll always be

Just a fool in the shadows

Without a face

Without a story of your own

Of your own

Staring like an asshole

With a quarter in your first

Tell me John

Tell me I’m forgiven

Don’t be angry

When you meet your maker
