Jackal Jackal

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 they'll 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
