What Happened to Delilah?

Crushed by a falling tortoise
15 $50 bills strapped to her leg
It was by candlelight the coast of Bohemia was discovered
Waves slapping the bruised sand

The grand house was set alight by an angry mob
They thought it was a prison

Death supplies and demands
The price of black cloth goes up
Vouchers pretend to be eagles
Letters, fire, numbers, the art of yoking animals
Faint sound of shoveling can be heard

The obedient iPod banker
Sweating in thе gym
With technical support to match
The dollar surged
All thosе red borrowed dollars flushed away

Investors panicked markets plunged
They sold everything they could sell
The gold was sold the sold were sold
You enter Babylon by candlelight
The asthma of uncertainty
A miasma clouding yellow brown sky
Wet debt bubble markets
Candles flare and gutter in mean streets
