The Legendary Pink Dots - Before The End lyrics
[The Legendary Pink Dots - Before The End lyrics]
Before the end, the town was
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)
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)
