Taking The Amorous Man Songtext / Lyric

there's Eleanor by the pool
red fingernails tapping a file
she's tracking the amorous man, in style
half shell on the ears
etiquette plucks a brow
she's ready with the mercury tear and towel
and the Lord of Hosts is breathing on the window
his foggy tethered ghost
he's tracking the amorous man

red line on the map
focus on the mutual prey
Anthony crosses state lines on holiday
out on the funeral sea
the lovers love and drown
the white whale of the world takes them down
far above their heads
the tongue of flame is stuttering
and virtue goes to bed
the death of the armorous man
