People of the Smoke Lyrics

Fallen downstairs in the hall Fog in the alley, peeling walls Steam flame, scream train Tobacco road When the bell tolls another stroke People of the smoke come and go Cloud factory, grey perfume Red snakes slither under the moon Horns in the night, play on bombsites When the bell tolls another stroke People of the smoke come and go Flash of light when the sun shines through Fairground dreamland where we flew Dirty look, do what you're told Bow to your betters, Empire of old A hanging at dawn while a baby is born When the bell tolls another stroke People of the smoke come and go
