The Saboteur

from Ghost Road by Adrian Niles

/

lyrics

The Saboteur is a marked man
He’s got his hands all over you
He's got your back
He'll lead you anywhere he wants to
He's all eyes and a crooked brow
Long white lines on a broken mirror
The brunt of a quick blow
A heavy hunger rising from below

The Saboteur loves your cold heart
Your facile face and your weathered glow
He's on your side
But you're only aware of what you want to know
Each day breaks with a fleeting glimpse
Like short stabs at a big dream
He'll throw your weight around
And wait for the dusk to bring you down

The Saboteur is a stow-a-way
He walks these streets with a placid pain
He works in shadows
And in the defects of a sovereign domain
A cacophony, twisted, toiled, frayed
You're an accomplice not a martyr babe
He'll hand you over
Then walk on
