lyrics

DISPLACED PERSONS
(e. fischer)

displaced persons do the displaced head
i displaced myself tonight can i sleep in your bed

as a rule i don't do this
as a rule i don't believe
in the right of the pure
in the right of the meek
but the orphanage is empty
and i'm weeping for my world
resume my resurrection
ratify my worth

see, i was raised by nuns
in a desolate place
the curtains where white
and white was the bed
i was raised on lies
and white raisin bread
but when i looked into the mirror
my eyes went dead

now i stay here with you
at this lousy hotel
and i'm black and blue
and i can't tell
my mother superior
my mother in hell
displaced persons
can't ring the bell
