[?, Spoken] Now it's all set up
[Joni, spoken]: Okay [giggles]
[Verse 1]
Cold blue steel out of money
One eye for the beat police
Sweet Fire calling, "you can't deny me
You know what you need"
[Verse 2]
Underneath the jungle gym
Hollow-grey,-fire-escape-thief
Looking for Sweet Fire
Shadow of Lady Release
[Chorus]
"Come with me, I know the way," she says
"It's down, down, down the dark ladder
Do you wanna contact somebody first, leave someone a letter?
You can come now, or you can come later"
[Verse 3]
A wristwatch, a ring, a downstairs screamer
Edgy black cracks of the sky
"Pin-cushion-prick, fix this poor bad dreamer!"
"Money" cold shadows reply
[Verse 4]
Pawnshops crisscrossed and padlocked
Corridors, spit-on prayers and pleas
Sparks fly up from Sweet Fire
Black soot of Lady Release
[Chorus 2]
"Come with me, I know the way" she says
"It's down, down, down the dark ladder
Do you want to contact somebody first, I mean, does it really matter?
You can come now or you can come later"
[Verse 5]
Red water in the bathroom sink
Fever and the scum brown bowl
Blue Steel still begging but it's indistinct
Someone's Hi-Fi drumming Jelly Roll
[Verse 6]
Concrete concentration camp
Bashing in veins for peace
Cold Blue Steel and Sweet Fire
Fall into Lady Release
[Chorus 3]
"Come with me, I know the way" she says
"It's down, down, down the dark ladder
Do you want to contact somebody first, I mean what does it really matter?
You're going to come now or you're gonna come later"
