about

I think this song is about corporate malaise and the shattering of innocence, but I really don't know. I just liked how the words came together.

lyrics

Hop on in and take if for a spin
I hate it when I have to help the doctor shed his skin
He's highly recommended, don't be fooled by the shaking hands
He learned it all by watching Mr. Inquisition Man

So put on your party dress, or baby come just as you are
'Cause we're the guests of honor at the party at the abattoir

Sink and drown we're going downtown
Trying to stay a step ahead of mother superior's hounds
The river's running red, I don't think that was the plan
But now I'm late for cocktails with the Inquisition Man

Put on your red shoes, we're going to dance the night away
We'll do that little two-step they call the Auto-da-Fe

The firetruck is up on blocks
Donnie Joe the CFO stole the hands right off the clocks
He'd love to stick around, but now he's late to get trepanned
The procedure bought and paid for by the Inquisition Man

The trout-faced girl has learned her lesson, think she's finally got it sussed
That wine she stole from Mr. I kinda looks and tastes like dust

Check the noose, is it too loose?
If that rash persists you better discontinue use
It's a friendly game of poker, gotta fold 'em, raise, or stand
Too bad for you the dealer's Mr. Inquisition Man

You used to be so sweet, you was everybody's girl next door
Now your business card reads, Mistress Sally the Corporate Whore
