Moral Kiosk

Song available on Murmur.

Scratch the scandals in the twilight
Trying to shock but instead
Idle hands all orient to her
Pass a magic pillow under head
It's so much more attractive inside the moral kiosk
Inside, cold, dark, fire, twilight
Inside, cold, dark, fire, twilight

They scratch the scandals in the twilight
She was laughing like a Horae
Put that knee in dour landslide
Take this step to dash a roving eye
It's so much more attractive inside the moral kiosk
Inside, cold, dark, fire, twilight
Inside, cold, dark, fire, twilight

(repeat first verse)

A Safer Place to be is Moral Kiosk,like a Nun would be or at a Confessional or needing rest in a Sanctuary,Ralph Genis


By Ralph Genis My (ex) girlfriend and I used to listen to this song a lot in her car, an 84 Mazda that always said looked like a hyper-thyroid squirrel. She preferred the pregnant roller-skate, which I told her was CB radio jargon for a VW Bug.
The guitar riff alone was worth the price of admission, and my only complaint is that it's too damn short.


By TROY-DAVID Initially my favorite song on this album before I really discovered Laughing, 9-9 and sitting Still
