Well ah jumpt! and fled this fucken heap on doctored wings |
|
Mah flailin pinions, with splints and rags and crutches! |
|
(damn things nearly hardly flap) |
|
Canker upon canker upon one million tiny punctures |
|
That look like... |
|
Long thin red ribbons draped across the arms of a lil mortal girl |
|
(like a ground -plan of hell) |
|
Curse these smartin strings! these fucken ruptures! |
|
Enough! enough is enough! |
|
(if this is heaven ah'm bailin out) |
|
If this is heaven ah'm bailin out |
|
Ah caint tolerate this ol tin-tub |
|
So fulla trash and rats! felt one crawl across mah soul |
|
For a seckon there , as thought as wassa back down in the ghetto! |
|
(rats in paradise! rats in paradise!) |
|
Ah'm bailin out! there's a mutiny in heaven! |
|
Ah wassa born... |
|
And lord shakin, even then was dumpt into some icy font, |
|
Like some great stinky unclean! |
|
From slum-chuch to slum-church, ah spilt mah heart |
|
To some fat cunt behind a screen... |
|
Evil poppin eye presst up to the opening |
|
He'd slide shut the lil perforated hatch...at night mah body |
|
Blusht |
|
To the whistle of the birch |
|
With a lil practice ah soon learnt to use in on mahself |
|
Punishment? ! reward!! punishment? ! reward!! |
|
Well, ah tied on...percht on mah bed ah was... |
|
Sticken a needle in mah arm... |
|
Ah tied off! fucken wings burst out mah back |
|
(like ah was cuttin teeth!!) |
|
Ah took off!!! |
|
(rats in paradise! rats in paradise!) |
|
There's a mutiny in heaven! |
|
Oh lord, ah git down on mah knees |
|
(ah git down on mah knees and start to pray) |
|
Wrapped in mah mongrel wings, ah nearly freeze |
|
In the howlin wind and drivin rain |
|
(all the trash blowin round 'n' round) |
|
From slum-heaven into town |
|
Ah take mah tiny pain and rollin back mah sleeve |
|
(roll anna roll anna roll anna roll) |
|
Ah yank the drip outa mah vein! utopiate! ah'm bailin out! |
|
Utopiate! |
|
If this is heaven ah'm bailin out! |
|
Mah threadbare soul teems with vermin and louse |
|
Thoughts come like a plague to the head...in god's house! |
|
Mutiny in heaven! |
|
(ars infectio forco dio) |
|
To the plank! |
|
(rats in paradise! rats in paradise!) |
|
Ah'm bailin out! |
|
(hail hypuss dermio vita rex!) |
|
Hole inna ghetto! hole inna ghetto! |
|
(scabio murem per sanctum...dio, dio, dio) |
