The Legendary Pink Dots - Before The End lyrics
[The Legendary Pink Dots - Before The End lyrics]
Calm no cold panic
No alarm the pubs rang out
With "Auld Lang Syne" as
A politician tossed a coin
It was normal before the end
The children played while old men watched
Them from the shade bemoaned the
Heat, the price of tea, discussed perverse
Psychology normal a-OK before the end
In a darkened
Room, Tom waited for his best girl June
Fingers crossed, he quietly prayed "Lie down
" he whispered she obeyed it was
Normal ring a ring of roses, a pocket full
Of posies a tissue, a tissue, all fall
Down 'Cos we're normal before the end
In a crowded store, Miss Demeanor broke the
Law shifty eyes, sleight of hand
Slipped up a sleeve a sardine can naughty
(tsk tsk) but normal before the
End, in a cramped bedsit
George slid a razor cross his wrist bloody
Jeans, tearful eyes, unhooked the phone
Fed the mice
Nasty before the end, in a cushioned pod
Mr dial-a-Prophet looked for
God flaming throne
To slice the sky for mankind's
Last united cry "We're normal! Can't
Happen to us! We're normal!"
(It can't happen to us)
