Steve McQueen lyrics

[Verse 1]

Here I am the Moonlight Man with a six-barrel shooter

But I'm not that kinda guy, I have a dream

Sometimes I get the elevator to the top of the Burj Al Arab

And shoot my guns across Dubai

Bang, bang, bang, I'm that kinda guy

But mostly I curl up inside my typewriter

Curl up inside my typewriter and wish that I could die

Your legs are so long they should come with their own elevator

Don't worry darling, I'll be coming around to see you later

Because between you and me and my best friend the housefly

I'm a Steve McQueen with a big, beautiful dream

I am god

I am god thinking about god thinking about Steve McQueen

It's for me the sirens and the sylphs do their twilight pining

On Saturday night I walk on someone else's stomach lining

Up and down the street, call me a cab, call me a cab

No I'm a housefly called God and I don't give a fuck

Here I come up the elevator

Sixty floors hoping I don't get stuck

[Chorus]

And everyone out here does mean

And everyone out here does pain

But someone's gotta sing the stars

And someone's gotta sing the rain

[Verse 2]

I'm the atomizer

I'm the vaporizer

I turn everything to crud

I like it here in your flesh and blood

I'm the elevator man don't you see?

You're a spine lashed, long legged lovely young thing

Call me a cab, I'll drive to the top of the Burj Al Arab and fire my guns across your stomach

[Chorus]

Because someone's gotta sing the stars

And someone's gotta sing the rain

And someone's gotta sing the blood

And someone's gotta sing the pain

[Verse 3]

Watch out you fuckers

I've got my six shooter and my housefly on a lead

I'm Burj al-McQueen and I'm coming to make every last one of you bleed

God is great, chances are

God is good, well I wouldn't go that far

I'm Steve McQueen the atrocity man

With my strap-on blood porn dream

But mostly I curl up inside my typewriter with my housefly and cry

I tell my housefly not to cry

My housefly tells me not to die

[Chorus]

Because someone's gotta sing the stars

And someone's gotta sing the rain

And someone's gotta sing the blood

And someone's gotta sing the pain
