The Libertine

The Libertine -Patrick Wolf

The motorway won't take a horse

The wanderer has found a course to follow

The traveler unpacked his bags for the last time

The troubadour cut off his hand and now he wants mine

Not me

Oh no not me

The circus girl fell off her horse and now she's paralyzed

The hitchhiker was bound and gagged raped on the roadside

The libertine is locked in jail

The pirate sunk and broke his sail

But I still got to go go

I've got to go go so here I go go

I'm going to run the risk of being free

Being free being free being free

The magician's secrets all revealed

And the preacher's lies are all concealed

And all our heroes lack any conviction

They shout through the bars of cliche and addiction

So I've got to go go

I've got to go go so here I go go

I'm going to run the risk of being free

Being free being free being free

And in this drought of truth and invention

Whoever shouts the loudest gets the most attention

So we pass the mic and they've got nothing to say except

Bow down bow down bow down to your god

Then we hit the floor

And make ourselves and idol to bow before

Well I can't

And I won't

Bow down

Anymore
