lyrics

Welcome to The Black Keys
Where we dance like crabs and monkeys
There’s a pot there for your car keys coz we know what you’re like
And we’re there every night at seven,
But it was a little past eleven
When this lady walked inside out of the night
So come on over if you’d like a little dance
Maybe a little conversation, maybe a little romance

My baby’s got a secret, let’s just see how long she keeps it
in The Black Keys on a Friday night

Well she looked like Audrey Hepburn
‘Cept she still liked to keep her hair long
and it cam down to the start of her short silk skirt
That was made by Pierre Cardin
I’ll admit admit I got a hard on
And I undid the top two buttons of my shirt

So come on over you can share my little booth
I wouldn’t trust the water how about a dry vermouth

My baby’s got a secret, let’s just see how long she keeps it
in the Black Keys on a Friday night

Now upstairs there’s a hotel,
Where the porter swears he won’t tell
All the scenes he sees through the keyhole he says ‘I don’t know what you mean?’
The blood pooling in the ashtrays
And the semen on the lampshade
Where it burns, and then it turns into steam

It’s getting late, I think you missed the last train
I’ll buy you another drink, if you tell me your middle name again

My baby’s got a secret, let’s just see how long she keeps it
in the Black Keys on a Friday night

The rest of the night was a haze of tequila and rum
What can you do when you’re done?

I woke up in suite 35b,
But she wasn’t there beside me
And the bed was as empty as a squeezed lime
She didn’t even leave a note
But in the pocket of my coat
Was seventy-six dollars, for my time

I knew the score but what the hell was I supposed to think?
I went down to The Black Keys, bought the bartender a drink

My baby’s got a secret, let’s just see how long she keeps it
in The Black Keys on a Friday night
in The Black Keys on a Friday night
in The Black Keys on a Friday night

This is a great adaptation of Arthuriana and a brilliant narrative album. I love how the queerness of the characters is handled as an integral part of the narrative and plot development without it being the end all be all of the characters themselves. my boy Gawain deserved better though maritarvaniti
