Company of Thieves - Gorgeous/Grotesque Lyrics

There's nothing more gorgeous or grotesque than the sight of the garbage dumped on the sides of the railroad tracks
In the morning, on my way to work, I see them- little lumps- just glittering in the sunshine
What a messy way to say thank you
What a messy way to say thank you
Oh, we need a closeness

There's nothing more helpless or hopeless than the birds of the city streets, with the dirt on their heavy wings
In the evening, on my way to sleep, I hear them- screaming out into a bitter melody
What a messy way to say thank you
What a messy way to say thank you
Oh, we need a closeness



'Cause when I wake
I am so far out from reach
I am so far from

We need a closeness, a harmless closeness
Oh we need a closeness, a harmless closeness!
