lyrics

THE KEEPS OF GANGLAND

Do you have my back?

Dandy lambs, I am lions, I am tigers,
losing arrows on the heels of other martyrs.
Am i cupid? In the morning
pretty in Spanish is dying.

No takebacks here.
Are you with me?
I said, are you with me?
Along the ramparts.

There's no takebacks here.
Are you with me?
For keeps?
The keeps of gangland.

Do you have my back?
Do you have my back?
Do you have my back?
Do you have my back?

I will always have your back.
I will always have your back.
I will always have your back.

Mirror, mirror on the wall,
who's the fairest of them all?

In the Middle West, like Algonquin, we were legends.
We were seasons, and as drastic, relentless.
We are roses from the ashes.
We wear our holes like your patches.

No takebacks.
Come.
With me.
The haze.
Of endless waiting.

There's no takebacks here.
Are you in?
Are you with us?
Are you against us?

I can't have her back.
It's over.
I am new.
A freshman.
Come.
With us.
The haze.
