Haloumi Songtext / Lyric

This place is magnificent

All the world a moth flapping at its flame

Promise still sparkles

The siren's tune is still the same



None of these girls are smiling

I'll take whatever they're selling, you can wrap it up

Rolling over Brooklyn Bridge now

To the belly of the beast by the water-slide



And we feed the machine

Buying all this shit that nobody needs

And I whimper and I squeak

Like haloumi, how you move me






Take a wander down Canal Street

No, I don't have any gold to sell

(The world needs some fearless leaders)

(The world)

It just needs bottom feeders



Rolling around on my belly

Drifting this way and that

(In a sweaty bar full of cruel laughing)

I thought I saw you smiling

And I was thinking about smiling back



And we feed the machine

Buying all this shit that nobody needs

And I whimper and I squeak

Like haloumi, how you move me



More than a body but less than a soul

Gotta find me something to fill this hole
