| On the day that Daniel Cowman stopped existing
|
| the world should have ended right then and there
|
| at precisely four-fifteen when he stopped existing
|
| the world should have ended
|
| How could it go on?
|
| How could it go on?
|
| How could it go on?
|
| Oh and I don’t exist
|
| I don’t exist?
|
| So now that we’ve got that straight
|
| doesn’t mean that I can fly
|
| doesn’t mean I that I can go do whatever I want.
|
| Now that we’ve got that clear
|
| and you know that I’m not here
|
| doesn’t mean that I can go do whatever I please.
|
| The premature ejaculation of his death
|
| (something) hit Daniel in the face like a big round spitball hwk-pfffff.
|
| And everything got hazy in the courtroom and then he stood up and then he sat back down another two times in the row.
|
| And everything got real slow like a gunshot in the movies
|
| and he remembered heroin boy walking in through the door
|
| bouncing off the walls and the floor
|
| taking off his belt taking off his pants
|
| filling up the bathtub
|
| getting ready to go in for a swim.
|
| Singing I don’t exist
|
| I don’t exist?
|
| and now that we’ve got that straight,
|
| doesn’t mean that I can fly
|
| doesn’t mean that I can go do whatever I want.
|
| Now that we’ve got that clear
|
| and you know that I’m not here
|
| doesn’t mean that I can go do whatever I please.
|
| and you start remembering and remembering and remembering
|
| and remembering?
|
| The heroin boy, he walked through the door,
|
| and he was screaming
|
| and I was like 'why's you screaming like it’s the end of the world?'
|
| and he was like 'well it is.'
|
| and I was sitting in the corner with my pants down
|
| and I was sure that someone next door was blowing up balloons
|
| and it was red and orange.
|
| And there was that swell lady at the bar just tryin to buy gin
|
| and there was this other lady at the bar and she was tryin to sell gin
|
| It worked out good for the boths of them.
|
| And heroin boy started taking off his belt,
|
| started taking off his pants,
|
| started taking off his shoes
|
| started filling up the bathtub
|
| getting ready to go in for a swim
|
| I says «No-o.
|
| You’re goin to drown.
|
| he says 'No,
|
| I can’t drown.
|
| Simply because?
|
| shhhhhhh.
|
| A man destined to hang
|
| Can never drown,
|
| a man destined to hang
|
| can never drown,
|
| a man destined to hang
|
| can never ever drown.
|
| A man destined to drown
|
| can never burn,
|
| a man destined to drown
|
| can never burn,
|
| a man destined to drown
|
| can never ever burn.
|
| A man destined to fry
|
| can never ever ever
|
| a man destined to fry
|
| can never ever ever
|
| a man destined to fry
|
| can never ever ever die?
|
| in any other way but frying,
|
| lucky that I’m dying
|
| by hanging and not drowning.
|
| So now that we’ve got that straight
|
| can’t I just be left alone?
|
| I want to take a fuckin’bath. |
