KID CONGO AND THE PINK MONKEY BIRDS
THE WEATHER THE WAR (Powers, Martin, O'Brien, Bandez )

Pinned by Kid and legendary vocalist Little Annie, the lyrics are in duet form. Kid sings the caps and Annie sings the standard lines.

AT OUR CONVINIENCE LOVE COULD KNOCK DOWN THE DOOR
Smoke how it rises , so slow to the ceiling
IT MAKES US MAD WE DON’T HEAR THAT KNOCK ANYMORE
and our glasses are misted with dry ice and sighs what dull surprise
AND WHERE A GLANCE IT ONCE TURNED THE KEY
holds this night
what cold seduction holds this flight
AVERTED EYES ARE WHAT’S FALLING AROUND ME
lying in your arms I watch the night go on forever
AND THEN YOU TELL ME…..

“IT’S THE WEATHER , IT’S THE WAR, I’M CONFUSED, I’M A WHORE”
IT SEEMS WE’RE NEVER IN THE MOOD FOR EACHOTHER
NO, NOT ANYMORE…..

I PINNED YOUR LONG BODY TO MY HEART AND TO THE WALL
lying in your arms I watch the night go on forever
BUT THEN I TOUCHED YOU AND I FELT A RAG DOLL
lying in your arms I watch the headlights dim then fade
AND WHERE A KIND WORD ONCE SPOKE A NOVEL…OR THREE
Crawl across the floor, we could crawl across the floor
“MEAN SILENCE” THAT’S THE LINE THAT WE BOTH READ
And we run out of cigarettes and meaningful looks
IT’S THEN YOU TELL ME….

IT’S THE WEATHER , IT’S THE WAR, I’M CONFUSED, I’M A WHORE”
IT SEEMS WE’RE NEVER IN THE MOOD FOR EACHOTHER
NO, NOT ANYMORE…..

IT SEEMS THE GODS OF LOVE TOSS AWAY WHAT THEY CAN’T USE
I was waiting to feel the pain, it never came I laughed out loud
AND THERE’S ALWAYS A DESTRUCTION EVERYTIME YOU LIGHT A FUSE
It felt like velvet, I didn’t bleed it didn’t matter
EXCUSING THY SINS MORE THAN THY SINS ARE
Crawl across the floor, crawl across the floor.....
AT OUR CONVINIENCE LOVE COULD KNOCK DOWN THE DOOR
Crawl across the floor, crawl across the floor.....
AND THEN YOU TELL ME…
IT’S THE WEATHER , IT’S THE WAR, I’M CONFUSED, I’M A WHORE”
IT SEEMS WE’RE NEVER IN THE MOOD FOR EACHOTHER
NO, NOT ANYMORE
