lyrics

A man who lived on the corner of a busy street
One morning woke up a foreigner and chopped off both of his feet
He threw his left in a basket; he threw his right in a box
Then he lay down in a casket and murmured: ‘everything sucks’

And the world passed by his window in a shiny racing car
It was conscious of his sin though, that’s why it never came too far

It was a morning in winter, the streets were full of snow
But since the man never been there: how could he ever know?
He wrote a note to his finder, he wrote: ‘if you have a girl
Then take a quick look behind her, you’ll see the murdering world

‘Will you promise me to ask it to take my right foot out the box?
To take my left foot out the basket and bring my casket to the rocks?
Then he’ll look to the horizon, then he’ll over the sea
Then there’ll be no more disguising: it will be the world and me’

The morning after was colder and all the neighbours say
When someone finally told her, the world had took him away
She read the note and then tore it. She whispered: ‘what a jerk!
He could have told me before it, now I’ll be late for work’

That night the wind howled like a madman, while she did never even weep
And all the broken and the sad men turned off their lights and went to sleep
