"Click Your Fingers Applauding The Play" lyrics

"Click Your Fingers Applauding The Play"
(originally by Roky Erickson)

Come on

Click your fingers applauding the play
Such clear, clear nights and clear days
'Cause lightning never flashes our way
If you click your fingers applauding the play, yeah

Fat kings and queens all eating their grapes
Blood and blaspheme not upon the door drapes
Scream out for murder, scream out for hate
If you click your fingers applauding the play

And from the horizons the wrath boot's not down
Clear skies sometimes the clouds so inviting, such a friendly sound

Temples arising, they are not raked
Columns not shattered by any earthquakes
The seas and famine are all their own brake
If you click your fingers applauding the play, yeah

And from the horizons the wrath boot's not down
Clear skies sometimes the clouds so inviting, such a friendly sound
