lirik lagu paul shapera - the mayor
mayor:
it’s somewhere past midnight, my office the sole light
the weight of the city is perched on my back
disputes and decisions, the mad circus deafens
and troubles in piles crash down on my lap
it’s 3 am and once again the lonely nightime never ends
like pills i chew all day, my ulcer kept at bay
this city exists one step from the abyss
and some days i’m all that can keep it still sane
my son the school says is disturbed in his head
as if i can take one more straw on my back
my marriage is empty, my family resents me
no friends just agendas all perched to attack
his nanny cares for all his needs he loves her now far more than me
he asks for her when it’s just us all alone
you forfeit your pleasures to keep this city together
i tell myself he’ll understand when he’s grown
what few people know is there’s dwarves down below
far under the city where membranes dissolve
they live down there still, work their d~mn hamlets mill
the wheel round which eras and epochs revolve
and it’s very rare the few times when they somehow decide they will send
some strange baffling warning way up to our stead
the last time they did, that mccailister b~tch
unleashed her plague of dolls voodoo and dead
and now here they warn, the aeon is turned
and cycles repeat and some dire change comes
the merlin’s appeared, in the park it is clear
his arthur, his edgar will soon be along
the task it falls falls on my back to keep this city safe, intact
the hard job that cost me my family and son
he’ll never know this, that i do it for him
the time for the difficult choices has come
spoken: operation eradication is a go. unleash the dogs
