Lyrics

If the sea shakes like an empty maraca, yeah
And, I know, I know, I know, I know
And, she falls in love with the sounds of ships sinking?
And, I know, I know, I know, I know

Which peacock is beast? which peacock is priest?
If the heavens part
Nobody, nowhere, nothing
Every apartment is vacant, every home for rent?
Hey, peacock?
What's that?
I just wanna know what those feathers are made out of;
Is it bruises and roses? or cradles and coffins
Oh, it's all those!
Which peacock is beast? which peacock is priest?

Your friends are all cripple, all wither, all wilt
And, I know, I know, I know, I know
And you smile at their pain, from your angel bone stilts
I know, I know, I know, I know
Which peacock is beast? which peacock is priest?

If the brick you throw
Puts a bullet in your skull
Police boot lands atop your gaping jaw
Hey, peacock?
Yeah, what's that?
I just wanna know what the babies mouth is full of
Is it flies, or cries, or straw?
Which peacock is beast? which peacock is priest?
Which peacock's police? which peacock is thief?

If machine guns come knock-knock-knockin'
Who's cashing out your bad luck?
Wedding bells sound like death knells, baby
Is a wealthy groom worth all it's gloom?
Tuxedos slither off corpses
And copulate wild on wedding cake
And the priest starts snapping photos?
And, there's a peacock on your shoulder
Pole dancing around your neck
While reciting the book of revelation

So who do you love?
Who do you trust?
When your friend's take a match to your front lawn
A panicked face makes the peacock proud
So who do you love? who do you trust? who do you kill?
When your senator drags out your first born?
A panicked face makes the peacock proud

If the forest turns to static, and the black branches, too?
And, I know, I know, I know, I know
Your body starts to fall into a concrete tutu?
I know, I know, I know, I know
Which peacock is beast? which peacock is priest?

If you strike for better wages at the cola factory
And they drink champagne;
As they kick in your teeth?
Hey, peacock?
Yeah, what's that?
I just wanna know what that blood tasted like
Was it sugar, and vinegar? or whiskey and dirt? (it's all of those.)
Which peacock is beast? which peacock is priest?

Things are never what they seem
The peacocks static harmonies
