With all the connections you have made in this place
you could probably build a mausoleum.
Still I know, you'd be happy just to see them
betrayed, with their rotors winding down.
Don't know how far you think I'd go
if I could only stop and say hello.
We'll know when
to breathe is quicker than to swallow.
Till then I'll scrape up mud to wallow in,
clear out some space, a place to crawl away,
and there to write a happy ending:
your death.
And now that your offspring has been killed in the womb,
will the shivers crack your perineum?
Do come up, and you'll be happy not to see him
displayed, with his hairpiece hanging down.
Is this as far as it will go?
If I can keep my ashes blowing low
I’ll know that
to breathe is quicker than to swallow.
Till then I'll scrape up mud to wallow in,
clear out some space, a place to crawl away,
and there to write a happy ending.
To breathe is quicker than to swallow.
No need to scrape up mud to wallow in.
I’ve cleared this space, I crawled the hell away,
and there I wrote a perfect ending.
No, it’s not the world that’s ending,
but oh, what a grand and happy ending:
your death.
You could never do much else but look around, lie down and worry,
but now we've completed all the efforts to conceal our story.
Maybe you'd like to pull out the knife and tell me that you're sorry.
Hats off to the choir, to the judge, the hangman and the jury.
They know – and if they know, I’ll know that …
