Club Down (Single Version) ​clipping.

[Chorus 1a:]
Turn the lights off, they done shut the club down
Shut the club down, shut the, shut the club down
Turn the lights off, they done shut the club down
Shut the club down, shut the, shut the club down

[Verse 1:]
The schoolyard reeks of sewage, broken pipes, broken promise
The thin man staggers lucid for this time of night
Drying vomit dangles from the beard, step mumbles, shuffles trip
But the trajectory is clear, he’s headed for the covered steps
Tut tut, it looks like rain, he remembers A. A. Milne and
Each time the sky’s this kind of gray, that or his favorite film
Gene Kelly leaping technicolor through the fray
And feeling glorious the story is an allegory
For his days, but night is coming now
Files snap, aluminum sounds vibrant slap as
Drops descend on tall cans, it’s all hands on deck
To chase the pain away, dealers rocking parkas
With plenty pockets for product, the money horrors
The logic and babies holler from colic
The symphony is tectonic, it shifts as the Earth is settling
Precious metals are mined and a million mines have been meddling
With time in the hopes of getting a golden noose for the neck
Golden goose from a fairy tale shitting  Fabergé eggs
Here snitches shit bricks then quick to talk pig latin
That black dart too slick for that kid tapping the window
While looking over his shoulder, stop looking over your shoulder
You’re never caught from behind as long as you keep moving forward
They long for the sleep like they mortal
Be zombies but they got this portal and their
Minds and their molecules get rewired
Every trip they’ve taken through time
And they tripping nightly, the blacks of the eyes igniting
The pits in the backyard biting, the cats in the trashcan fighting
The feeling of guns peeling like bells in a telltale reeling
Of bodies losing they feeling and falling down in a ceiling
It’s black from the smoke that’s rising, the scent is just so enticing
The scent is a small price for the right to live out your vices now
