Jackal Jackal — текст песни (Marc Almond)

I dived into the pool

The cool, the blue from heat

The sun breathes fire

On marrakesh

To burn the busy street

My brow the wet of fever

My throat the dry of sand

Through passageways to dead ends

A gauntlet of the hands



Jackal jackal

Rise of hackle

Row of tombstone teeth

Take me to the labyrinth

The palace of the thief



The shaking of the bus

The ragged boys a chanting

My temple pounds with sights and sounds

The stamping and the dancing



My body feels so dizzy

As cobra snakes unwind

Dark hands dart to my pockets

For anything theyll find

Oh let me lead you, take you feed you

To the hungry souk

Monkey grins and caiman skins

Eyes so wise

And smile so young



Jackal jackal

Rise of hackle

Row of tombstone teeth

Take me to the labyrinth

The palace of the thief



My face on the pavement

The grit deep in my skin

Arms around my shoulders

The grazing of my skin



And he watches the sun go up

He watches the sun go down

I dived into the pool

I dived in deep to drown



Jackal jackal

Rise of hackle

Row of tombstone teeth

Take me to the labyrinth

The palace of the thief
