Me and Moriarty, who can't straighten on the bend out of kilter in the filter lanes of the Wild West End Where the neon grins some cheap sarcastic light And the scissor boys are scything in some non-existent fight The cut of a cheap suit from a slash-back razor The stunning of a trigger, the electricity of tasers The flotsam of McDonald's bags from which the sheep are grazing The technicolour dreamcoat in which Andrew is amazing And me and Moriarty dancing in our fucked-up phasing Are breathing in monoxide and trying to pretend we're not cruising up the Kyber Pass of the Wild West End Where the strippers are baring all of their personal Alcatraz In the juke-joints and the junk halls and in the juice of all that jazz A soggy-bottomed sawdust shish, a meowing cheap chow mien And one of Johnny Rotten's busted teeth beside the garbage bin is there for me and Moriarty My latest bestest friend Both out of sync and out of pocket in the Wild West End Where a waning moon in a restless sky is trying to pretend That the markets trending upwards in the Wild West End In Skidmark Street where tired feet are fixing on the mend Where everybody borrows and very few can lend Where Edith Piaf sorrows sing for me and Moriarty in this Wild West End Where Moriarty, with a measured tone, having heard the division bell Mumbles "Let's mop up the mucus" and then we run like hell To the District and the Circle Past the schmoozers and the bearded Turks Who sell another piece of putrefaction in the pallor of the pox For a penny in your pocket John, we'll let Jack out of the box Oh jack us up Jehovah, we've found one last putrescent vein Oh jack us up Jehovah, save us once again From all this rhythmic razzmatazz of the bitter coffee blend That's just me and Moriarty in the Wild West End
