lyrics

The Mall
This is a story of a swamp & the monster that lies in that
Swamp and a couple of buildings that lay around that
Swamp… a mall and a nuclear power plant. It’s a love story.
At the nuclear plantsite lies a swamp that glows ar nite,
& a mall is built by developers and a monster lies beneath,
Raises hell with her. She’s got a venom, makes them want to
Buy, or there’s a flame in the brain, & the skull will fry.
Whores & slaves, and drugs & crooks, in the shadow of the
Mall and everyone’s hooked.
This strip of sin surrounds the mall, I play in a band and I’ve
Seen it all. The drummer’s sister waitresses nights @ the
Toddle House, she seem alright. I hit the Toddle House every
Night to eat, we start dating, even exchange keys. Do you
Want to buy?
It was the call of the mall that kept me on the ball, she
keeps me hoppin with the shoppin, and you know I cannot
Find her at all. It was the lure to procure that challenged our
Amour, it was the buyin that was tryin, and did nothin for the
Lovin ensure.
The one night after practice with the band, I open up the
Door & I screamed ‘Oh Man”. She cleaned me out, but I
Didn’t care, I cried real hard cause I lost her.
I went by where she worked to say “no harm done,” some
Guys was beatin on a waiter, so I just moved on. Do you want
To buy?
It was the lure to procure that challenged our amour, it was
The buyin that was trying and did nothin for the lovin ensure.
It was the sheets of concrete that swept her off her feet, she
Was my honey with the money couldn’t see her for the
Shower of receipts. Do you want to buy?
