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) |
