The Legendary Pink Dots - The Day Before It Happened lyrics
[The Legendary Pink Dots - The Day Before It Happened lyrics]
Well, at least that's what you said
I tried to catch your words
But managed ten percent
I against the wall close my eyes
I try a little less
You let me use my intuition
You would not let me rest
The day before the day before it happened
Missiles flattened this poor village
By mistake
They pulled a baby from the flakes
Undamaged, smiling, wide awake
A general cried admitted: "Oh the lord
He moves in such mysterious ways"
They docked his pay and
Shipped him to Antartica
Now wasn't that a shame?
The day before it happens
We shall all be unprepared
Heard him shouting from the pulpit
Saw it splattered on the stairs
Wondered if the time was right
To fix my teeth dye my hair
Next year
Maybe next year
Oh, the day it should have happened
Nothing happened
Next year
Next year
