Holding council with the king and queen 
Trying hard to decide the fate of their regime 
There's only one needed to complete the harmonizin' 
And that's a man with a voice like a scraping violin 
Waiting for Mr. Damage 

Toothless jaws gumming melancholy stuff 
A burst of rapid fire Spanish from a window up above 
Students out to pose in studied dissarray 
Books of Sartre, Marcuse openly displayed 
Waiting for, Mr. Damage 

Mr. Damage, walks through the doors of the sacrificial church 
Mr. Damage, meets you in the lobby then leaves you in the lurch 
Mr. Damage, stands at the altar, Sermon of the search 
All the faithful follow 

Resident winos stumbling and lurching 
Walking cadavers smiling and searching 
Man in the DT's looking at the feeble glossy portraits of long dead celebrated people 
Waiting for Mr. Damage

Trying hard just to keep a candle lit 
A leather flyer leaves the subway anxious to admit 
That the marvelled one so recently deposed was seen 
Three days later in a brand new suit of clothes 
A brand new suit of clothes for a very special day 
A brand new suit of clothes for a very special day 
A brand new suit of clothes for a very special day 
A very special day, a very special day, a very very very special dayyyyy - OOOOWWWWWW 

Mr Damage holds a curse 
Mr Damage drives a hearse 
Don't you know who did it first...Mr Damage 

Holding council with the king and queen 
Trying hard to decide the fate of their regime 
There's only one needed to complete the harmonizin' 
And that's a man with a voice like a scraping violin 
Waiting for Mr. Damage 

Mr. Damage, walks through the doors of the sacrificial church 
Mr. Damage, meets you in the lobby then leaves you in the lurch 
Mr. Damage, stands at the altar, Sermon of the search 
All the faithful follow 

Holding frozen hands as Mr, 
Holding frozen hands as Mr, 
Holding frozen hands as Mr, 
Damage holds the curse.......
