lyrics

Saving up for silicone, eating dust and patience
Marks upon her body from the lover and the lash
Black Dog stalks the beauty through the tunnels and the stations
Money’s trading heart attacks and tender flesh for cash

So Beauty tamed the black dog for a moment with a potion
And Money paid the dealers in the marketplace parade
Beauty took a needle to the pulse of her devotion
Money put a marker down and everyone was saved

She knows the river
She knows the gun
She knows the cocaine
She’s lonely but
She knows everyone
She’s lonely but
She knows everyone

Beauty takes a single room and heads down to the bar
All her days are empty and her nights are filled with pain
Money buys her marker pens and petrol for the car
Puts his lips upon her ear, whispers Black Dog’s secret name

Beauty traps the black dog in this moment of commotion
Money serves the beast a slice of paradox divine
Beauty drowns the black dog in the deep and poisoned ocean
Money lays a feast upon her curved and naked spine

She knows the river
She knows the gun
She knows the cocaine
She’s lonely but
She knows everyone
She’s lonely but
She knows everyone

She finally found some refuge in a flat above a launderette
Works in distribution, never wears the number nine
Black dog’s bloated body it floated east upon the water
Money lives alone now where all our lives entwined

She knows the river
She knows the gun
She knows the cocaine
She’s lonely but
She knows everyone
She’s lonely but
She knows everyone
