Don’t Open The Door To Strangers

Wednesday, December 21st, 2011

Don’t open the door to strangers
Don’t let them in, to your heart
They only want to take you far from me
Don’t open the door tonight

Don’t trust the man in the windows

Emerald haunt in overdrive
Nightmare descent into Jericho city
Camel dust heralds our arrival
New Christ beneath the drumkit moon
Oh Lord we are threatened again
In the slipstream pull of the federal men
Plummet in some seamless night
Down here to earth it’s hopeless then

Apache gunman in the boiling crowd
