Bogie In A Coal-hole Lyrics - Singles - Mechanical Poet

Awdling in the cellar 

Whining on the dungeon step 

Underground dweller 

Hammers at the coal-flap 

Catching the gnats 

Tearing off their opal wings 

Frightening the rats 

Wistful ghost sadly sings: 

''Why no one ever peeps into this place? 

No one sweeps out the dusty staircase 

Many tricks I prepared 

Even walls will be scared 

Of my face! 

Why rusty lock doesn't click anymore? 

No one opens the folding door 

Almost seventy years 

No man hears 

Bogie's terrible ROAR!'' 

The banister has to retain 

Clammy scullion's hand 

The eyes full of fear and his hair 

Funny standing on end 

And also these lovers that flew off without the pants 

It should be so scary to hear my scream in the height of erotic romance 

''Nickering mad'' 

''Shrieking demon in flame'' 

So many baleful names I have had 

In the days of my fame 

O-oh! 

Sweet shades of the past 

Making people aghast 

I was the maestro of fright 

New blazonry every night 

Incredible shows with infernal guffaws 

Horrifying... emotional sight!
