    When they turn the lights out
    Faces in the shadow
    When they turn the latch in
    Tappin at your window
    Skinny up outta your bedroom
    Shimmy up on the drain pipe
    Stand tall on the roof top
    And let's slip into the night
    Would you surrender to despair
    Or go on as if you're unawares
    Would you let it tear apart your mind
    Or would you come runnin with our kind?

    [Tell me, what would you do,
    If I told you that they lied to you?
    And the things they said just were not true
    Tell me what would you do?]
    SWING BABY!

    And they'll hate you for what you are boy
    And they'll say you ought to be ashamed
    They'll lock you in the pantry
    Till you learn how to behave
    But days of ash and cinder
    Is the good boy's last reward
    Cause once they got you where they want you
    They don't want you anymore


    This song is so fucking awesome. The lyrics are good, the bass line is so strong, it's a little swingy, but not too much, it just feels good. Big Rude Jake. Really good band. Not all of it is swingy, I've been told they're a little like Tom Waits, just slummy. I think they're out of Chicago, but do they ever rock.
