Lyrics

Square Hammer (Live)

[Verse 1]

Living in the night

'Neath devils, torn asunder

You call on me

To solve a crooked rhyme

And as I'm closing in

Imposing on your slumber

You call on me

As bells begin to chime

Stockholm!

[Chorus]

Are you on the square?

Are you on the level?

Are you ready to swear right here, right now

Before the devil?

That you're on the square?

That you're on the level?

That you're ready to stand right here, right now?

Right here, right now

[Verse 2]

Hiding from the light

Sacrificing nothing

Still, you call on me

For entrance to the shrine

Hammering the nails

Into a sacred coffin

You call on me

For powers clandestine

California!

[Chorus]

Are you on the square?

Are you on the level?

Are you ready to swear right here, right now

Before the devil?

That you're on the square?

That you're on the level?

That you're ready to stand right here, right now?

Right here, right now

[Guitar Solo]

[Papa Emeritus III]

California, are you with us?

[Chorus]

Are you on the square?

Are you on the level?

Are you ready to swear right here, right now

Before the devil?

That you're on the square?

That you're on the level?

That you're ready to stand right here, right now?

Right here, right now

[Outro]

Right here, right now

Right here, right now

Right here, right now

Right here, right now

Good evening, San Francisco!
