Story behind the song

There is a brightness in my life.

Lyrics

The smell of drains greets the day,
The heavens are gun-metal grey,
And who could ever call this place a town.

The lawyers and the businessmen,
The local council management 
Have moved across the border to safer ground.

But I hallelujah
'Cos when the Skeleton Witch comes round
She burns it out and burns it down.

The roaring boys and hooded men
Have coated everything with phlegm,
And vomit pools await the tourists' feet.

The asthma kids cough up their lungs,
The community leaders are already drunk,
And the flower of the women are pissing in the street.

But I hallelujah
'Cos when the Skeleton Witch comes round
She burns it out and burns it down,
And sings:

Ba ba baba
Ba ba baba
Ba ba baba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba 
Ba ba ba ba ba

And I hallelujah
'Cos when the Skeleton Witch comes round
She burns it out and burns it down.

Here she comes
Dressed in white
Pretty baby, sleep tonight,
And may the angels sing inside your dreams.
