Im here on a mission to tell you exactly what can go wrong if you're not careful. you see, it's like this: you're running down the staircase at random. you take one step, you take two steps, yo
E seven steps, 10 steps, two steps, 15 steps, 19 steps...youre lying in a heap at the bottom of the staircase--blood, bones, powder, that sort of thing--and you're wondering, how did I get here
Then you look up and you see...its a man in a cowl, it's a man in a cowl, he opens his face to you--its jimmy tarbuck*. he is saying, kiss the ring! kiss the ring!, and he says, &
Yes, there is a santa claus, and anybody who blasphemes against santa or any of his helpers shall die. what do you do? what do you do?
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/f/fatima+mansions/the+day+i+lost+everything_20053343.html ]
You whimper thanks to the heavenly sky
Its grey is getting lighter
No peace of mind or sleep for you
You haven't earned it yet
And you wont by dusk, I bet
Until you learn what futures youve destroyed
We musnt see you sulk or get annoyed...no

On the day I lost everything they couldnt help enough
They shot my veins full of gelatine
I said, thank you very much, you're too kind!

While they lived in luxury
I made do with money, sweet money
And now Im going to measure the rain
And you can sit and watch me--look! look!
Don't even think about not answering your phone
It might be me and I know you're always home

On the day I lost everything they couldnt help enough
They stopped my clock and they folded my wings
I said, thank you very much for everything!
It means, Im gonna destroy you with my slings and my bullets!

On the day I lost everything the sky was purest white
And the clocks had stopped so I started to sing
The magpie sleeps tonight

On the day I lost everything
