Well, buzzing like a locust, vibrating right out of my skin
Pounding on the butcher's wall, somebody come and let me in
There's a black haired woman carrying a rolling pin
But your man's got a secret, but she knows where he been
Yeah, she knows where he been
And it'll be a long time 'fore the sun shines
On Shank Hill Street again
You see, early in the morning 'fore the warm wind of the dawn
She saw a thin man and a shadow make their way across the lawn
There was a rustle, was a razor, and the whisper of a prayer
And the rhythm of the mallet like a heartbeat in the air
And it'll be a long time 'fore the sun shines
On Shank Hill Street again
With a handshake like a hammer and a suicide grin
That wooden door creaked open and the butcher man let me in
Yeah, just like that he let me in
But I wasted not a minute, I was on him like a whip
And for one last minute he'd feel that hot red drip
Drip drip drip drip drip drip
And it'll be a long time 'fore the sun shines
On Shank Hill Street again
Mmm
Pounding on the butcher's wall, somebody come and let me in
There's a black haired woman carrying a rolling pin
But your man's got a secret, but she knows where he been
Yeah, she knows where he been
And it'll be a long time 'fore the sun shines
On Shank Hill Street again
You see, early in the morning 'fore the warm wind of the dawn
She saw a thin man and a shadow make their way across the lawn
There was a rustle, was a razor, and the whisper of a prayer
And the rhythm of the mallet like a heartbeat in the air
And it'll be a long time 'fore the sun shines
On Shank Hill Street again
With a handshake like a hammer and a suicide grin
That wooden door creaked open and the butcher man let me in
Yeah, just like that he let me in
But I wasted not a minute, I was on him like a whip
And for one last minute he'd feel that hot red drip
Drip drip drip drip drip drip
And it'll be a long time 'fore the sun shines
On Shank Hill Street again
Mmm
