Marcus Was Lyrics

We travelled for ages
to kill some time
in a village
that hardly had a right to exist
The sun was killing
the beer was warm
but we felt great
like heroes from the west

Marcus sat down on a black fence
spreaded out a white line
looked at us
said: 'would you like a try?'
Marcus was the village martyr
Marcus was in pain

He was so skinny
not that tall
had no voice left
whispered in a snappy way
we found a friendly home
a stay for the night
catch some sleep
while Marcus inspected the cupboards
Marcus had this spasm now and then
he said it felt
like a shot through the head
his teeth were falling out

Killer time took care of Marcus
killer time took care

Marcus left us praising daylight
