Mutiny In Heaven |
Well ah jumpt! |
and fled this fucken heap on doctored wings |
Mah flailin pinions, with splints and rags and crutches! |
(Damn things nearly hardly flap) |
Canker upon canker upon one million tiny punctures |
That look like… |
Long thin red ribbons draped across the arms of a lil mortal girl |
(Like a ground -plan of Hell) |
Curse these smartin strings! |
These fucken ruptures! |
Enough! |
Enough is enough! |
(If this is Heaven ah’m bailin out) |
If this is Heaven ah’m bailin out |
Ah caint tolerate this ol tin-tub |
So fulla trash and rats! |
Felt one crawl across mah soul |
For a seckon there, as thought as wassa back down in the ghetto! |
(Rats in Paradise! Rats in Paradise!) |
Ah’m bailin out! |
There’s a mutiny in Heaven! |
Ah wassa born… |
And Lord shakin, even then was dumpt into some icy font |
Like some great stinky unclean! |
From slum-chuch to slum-church, ah spilt mah heart |
To some fat cunt behind a screen… |
Evil poppin eye presst up to the opening |
He’d slide shut the lil perforated hatch… at night mah body |
Blusht |
To the whistle of the birch |
With a lil practice ah soon learnt to use in on mahself |
Punishment?! |
Reward! |
Punishment?! |
Reward! |
Well, ah tied on… percht on mah bed ah was… |
Sticken a needle in mah arm… |
Ah tied off! |
Fucken wings burst out mah back |
(Like ah was cuttin teeth!!) |
Ah took off!!! |
(Rats in Paradise! Rats in Paradise!) |
There’s a mutiny in Heaven! |
Oh Lord, ah git down on mah knees |
(Ah git down on mah knees and start to pray) |
Wrapped in mah mongrel wings, ah nearly freeze |
In the howlin wind and drivin rain |
(All the trash blowin round 'n' round) |
From slum-heaven into town |
Ah take mah tiny pain and rollin back mah sleeve |
(Roll anna roll anna roll anna roll) |
Ah yank the drip outa mah vein! |
UTOPIATE! |
Ah’m bailin out! |
UTOPIATE! |
If this is Heaven ah’m bailin out! |
Mah threadbare soul teems with vermin and louse |
Thoughts come like a plague to the head… in God’s house! |
Mutiny in Heaven! |
(Ars infectio forco Dio) |
To the plank! |
(Rats in Paradise! Rats in Paradise!) |
Ah’m bailin out! |
(Hail Hypuss Dermio Vita Rex!) |
Hole inna ghetto! |
Hole inna ghetto! |
(Scabio Murem per Sanctum… Dio, Dio, Dio) |
