The Barker of the Dupes
The greased palms and the blood red vans
Twelve pound sledge for hands
The pancake and the rat-tail braid
A cool million in the shade
The bleached eyes and the blood red lips
The tattoos and those fingertips
I loved the voice but I hated those words
-I'm through steppin' out the loop
-I'm through jumpin' through the hoop
-And you don't be blue
-That's you
-Barker of the dupes
The black heart like a blood filled keg
The pie-hole to the hollow leg
The tree trunk full of poison gas
Hey man, you can kiss my ass
-I'm through steppin' out the loop
-I'm through jumpin' through the hoop
-And you don't be blue
-That's you
-Barker of the dupes
The red rings and the crooked neck
The dim bulb, the nervous wreck
The chump punk with a skeleton key
Hey! That chump is me
(chorus x2)
-I'm through steppin' out the loop
-I'm through jumpin' through the hoop
-And you don't be blue
-That's you
-Barker of the dupes
