Shaft - Vlad Has Wings

I drove cholera out of Auckland
I set fire to my sheets
I built a mall and made a small fortune frying eats

I stopped the water from overflowing
I fixed all of the lights
I even won the Nobel Peace Prize once or twice

The hand has fingers
The heart has strings
No blur from a bottom dream’s gonna split on me
Vlad has wings, Vlad has wings

My baby wears a nappy liner
She takes a chance
You oughta get an ocean-liner silkscreened to your pants

Then all the sailorboys and ballast air-hostesses
Could trade you handholds
On their lanyards and their dresses

The hand has fingers, etc.

He’s not bad, he’s not bad x 6

I saved an endangered species
I turned the volume down
Mixing in the newspeakeasy barker-role, in quiet towns

The hand has fingers, etc
