I would like to get the Black Hours tracks (link to the release here) in the lyric section of the site and could use some help with the transcription.
Here is what I got so far - blue highlight areas need help. If anywhere else seems not right - it's ok to mention that as well.
Scenes From a Strange Town
We crossed over the border into East Berlin
with a DJ we met in Paris
he had trembling hands
and the look of a man
born to die embarrassed
he said ??
black market jeans
a couple bottles of bourbon
can buy you scenes you can only dream of
back in the lands of freedom
I was grinning just like a clown
grinning just like a clown
while the rain outside was pounding down and down
scenes from a strange town
scenes from a strange town
from a strange town
I watched a friendship die in the blink of a TV eye
in a strange town
I woke up in a ?
some lunatic wrote
outraged that I remembered I wrote it
there were dancing girls
and ribbons and curls
everywhere guns exploded
the director said "please play dead
and do it with a lot of feeling
just take this bread
and fill your head
with those things you've been concealing"
I was grinning just like a clown
grinning just like a clown
while the rain outside was pounding down and down
scenes from a strange town
from a strange town
from a strange town
I watched a friendship die in the blink of a TV eye
in a strange town
I said snake changes skin like every one or two years
to a skin as sleek and sweet as a baby
last night I had a dream that I was ? soft and clean
as the day God damn he made me
I want to make like a snake and shed my skin
I want to make like a snake and shake it
I want to make like a snake and shake it
we arrived in the ?
friendship dead
the stench of corruption upon us
with a new found friend
who wiped his head
and said "our hope of redemption's beyond us"
I was grinning just like a clown
grinning just like a clown
while the rain outside was pounding down and down
scenes from a Strange town
scenes from a Strange town
from a strange town
I watched a friendship die in the blink of a TV eye
I was too scared to ask why
in a strange town
in a strange town
in a strange town
I watched a friendship die in the blink of a TV eye
in a strange town
gonna make like a snake and shed my skin
gonna make like a snake and shake it
make like a snake and shed my skin
make like a snake and shake it
baby
