The Sewers/Dog Eats Dog

Here's a hint of gold

Stuck into a tooth

Pardon me M'sieur

You won't be needing it no more.

It shouldn't be too hard to sell.

Add it to the pile

Add it to the stock

Here among the sewer rats

A breath away from Hell

You get accustomed to the smell.

Well someone's got to clean 'em up, my friends

Before the little harvest

Disappears into the mud

Someone's got to collect their odds and ends

When the gutters run with blood.

Here's a tasty ring

Pretty little thing

Wouldn't want to waste it

That would really be a crime

Thank you sir, I'm in your debt

Here's another toy

Take it off the boy

His heart's no longer going

And he's lived his little time

But his watch is ticking yet!

It's a world where the dog eats the dog

Where they kill for bones in the street

And God in His Heaven

He don't interfere

'Cause he's dead as the stiffs at my feet

I raise my eyes to see the heavens

And only the moon looks down

The harvest moon shines down!
