[Regina Spektor - Daniel Cowman lyrics]
On the day that Daniel
Cowman stopped existing
The world should've ended right
Then and there
Precisely at four-fifteen when
He stopped existing
The world should've ended how could it go on
How could it go on how could it go on
When I don't exist I don't exist
I don't exist I don't exist
I don't exist I don't exist
I don't exist I don't exist
So now that we got that straight
Doesn't mean that I can fly
Doesn't mean that I can go do whatever I want
Now that we got that clear
And you know that I'm not here
Doesn't mean that I can go
Do whatever I please
The premature ejaculation of
His death sentence
Hit Daniel in the face like
A big round spitball
And everything got hazy in the courtroom
And then he stood up and
Then he sat back down
Another two times in a row
And everything got real slow like
A gunshot in the movies
And he remembered heroin boy
Walking through the door
Bouncing off the walls and the floor
Taking off his belt taking off his pants
Filling up the bathtub
Getting ready to go in for a swim
Singing I don't exist
I don't exist I don't exist
I don't exist I don't exist
I don't exist I don't exist
I don't exist I don't exist i don't exist
So now that we got that straight
Doesn't mean that I can fly
Doesn't mean that I can go do whatever I want
Now that we got that clear
And you know that I'm not here
Doesn't mean that I can go
Do whatever I please
And he start remembering and remembering
And remembering and remembering
And remembering
The heroin boy'd walk through the door
And he was screaming and everybody was like
"What're you screaming as if it's
The end of the world?"
And he was like, "Well, it is"
And I was sitting in the
Corner with my pants down
And I was sure someone next
Door was blowing up balloons
And they was red and orange
And there was this one lady at the bar
And she was trying to buy gin
And this other lady at the bar and
She was trying to sell gin
And it worked out good for the boths of them
And heroin boy started taking off his belt
Started taking off his pants
Started taking off his shoes
Filling up the bathtub
Getting ready to go in for a swim
I says, "No you're gonna drown"
And he says, "No i can't drown
Simply because
A man destined to hang can never drown
A man destined to hang can never drown
A man destined to hang can never ever drown
A man destined to drown can never burn
A man destined to drown can never burn
A man destined to drown can never ever burn
A man destined to fry can never, ever, ever
A man destined to fry can never, ever, ever
A man destined to fry can never, ever
Ever die in any other way than frying
I'm lucky that I'm dying by
Hanging and not drowning
So now that we got that straight
Can't I just be left alone?
I want to take a fucking bath"
