Lyrics The Day Before It Happened - The Legendary Pink Dots

The Day Before It Happened

The day before it happened
Nothing mattered
Well, at least that’s what you said…
I tried to catch your words
But managed ten percent…
I ???
against the wall
Close my eyes…
I try a little less
You let me use my intuition
You would not let me rest…
The day before
The day before it happened
Missiles flattened this poor village
By mistake…
They pulled a baby from the flakes…
Undamaged, smiling, wide awake…
A general cried;
Admitted: «Oh the lord, he moves in such mysterious ways.»
They docked his pay and shipped him to Antartica…
Now wasn’t that a shame?
The day before it happens
We shall all be unprepared…
Heard him shouting from the pulpit
Saw it splattered on the stairs…
Wondered if the time was right
To fix my teeth…
Dye my hair…
Next year…
Maybe next year…
Oh, the day it should have happened
Nothing happened
Next year
Next year
