[Verse 1] Snake-eyed ivories lock eyes with men Who piss themselves in glee Creatures of want, victims of sloth, creatures of envy These men aren't sick, they're tuckered out From dancing, drinking, fucking, feasting with the Gods Ah-ha ha ha ha! [Chorus] The gnome understands, boy Leave shame at the door Heirlooms borrowed and stolen A fair game in here, son Lords and peons from every port Dock in my harbour of chance Offering what they can Howling at a paper moon [Verse 2] Port town Toiled brine The night breaks so quick Leaving fragments of your heart As urchins and spines Urchins and spines know my name [Verse 3] My face is known in most reverent terms To moguls, priests, vagrants, the hungry and well-fed And even the policeman knows my name Mum I'm never coming home I'm gonna stay with that gnome... [Bridge] Men here have Turned themselves to Laurel trees Hiding from their life Hiding from shame Stalked by their debts Hunted by regrets As their roots lap up the fun I pick their fruit I mill their wood I eat their seeds And they come to as a stump [Chorus] The gnome understands, boy You see neighbours swallowed whole By my carpeted floors, my colourful games, my opulent fitments Tell me are you still entranced By the gleaming fox's promise The deadbeat dreaming out loud [Verse 4] Port town Toiled brine The night breaks so quick Leaving fragments of your heart As urchins and spines Urchins and spines know my name [Verse 5] My face is known in most reverent terms To moguls, priests, vagrants, the hungry and well-fed And even the policeman knows my name Mum, I'm never coming home I'm gonna stay with that gnome!
