Turkish and Domestic
Where to start? Let me explain to you what I knew
About the threat without and the threat within, let us begin
Come, come, here up on the bridge, watch the last of my fleet sink
But don’t be scared, this is not a real boat – it’s just a plot device
I hear it’s very nice in Venice – very nice
Old man with a young wife – very nice
Oh that, going bleep bleep bleep, no it’s not a fish finder
It’s a baby MRI scanner, digital eggtimer
Cos the tide’s going out, it ain’t coming back, my little necromancer
And that pain between your shoulder blades – is that the T-bar rows or is it maybe cancer?
Air raid sirens, cell phones chiming, every Black Death advancing – Turkish
Cat-curled on the box seat, those long legs like they’re made for dancing – Domestic
Last mast slips beneath the waves in this phoney war
I bought my captain’s ticket in a dollar and dime store
And so the threat without has passed, and the other is in you
But someone’s been telling lies
Yes, someone’s been telling lies
And love’s got a ticket to ride on murder’s New Jersey rollercoaster
And we were never bound for Cyprus, we were dead before we left the harbour
We are Turkish and Domestic
We are Turkish and Domestic
And the best of your intentions that you Fed-Exed are lost in transit
Set up the gallows in the town square
Fire up the kiln on the Grassmere
They’re gonna hang for this, they’re gonna burn for this
They’re gonna hang and burn – Turkish
Sealed with a righteous kiss, with a righteous kiss
With a righteous kiss – Domestic
When you cannot lie but the truth’s unwanted
What is left for you my love?
When you never lied, but that doesn’t matter
He will come for you my love
Ring the alarm, the marauding fleet (now underwater) is on our doorstep
Washed up in pieces on the beach
But your last question, yeah, had already been answered
Are we Turkish or Domestic?
Are we Turkish or Domestic?
And your worst indiscretion
Was bowing down to a power you once thought was benevolent
