Legs of a cat
Head of a man
Eyes on the camera
Shaking everyone's hand
Vultures circle
and smack their lips
The sky goes black
As the lightning rips
Stars are new
Born without pity
as waves of blood
Roll over the city
It's not a rehearsal
or special effects
It's the end of a story
It's what happens next
If I say, and I say
It's coming in a second
If I say, and I say
In the blink of an eye
And I say, and I say
With a bang and a whimper
And I say it's OK
if you never say goodbye
Son of a child
Son of a beast
As it slouchers and slithers
It's way from east
I dreamt a dream
But what can it mean
Angels and more
Devoured the queen
All the people danced
And tore at their clothes
The sky caught fire
And the oceans froze
It wasn't a fable
It wasn't a hoax
The servants and the devil
Keep making up jokes
And I say, and I say
It's coming in a second
And I say, and I say
In the blink of an eye
And I say, and I say
With a bang and a whimper
And I say it's OK
If you never say goodbye
I saw a chapel
Lain of God
The light was so blue
And the air was so cold
It sounded high
On a microphone
As the rats kept rhythm
On a chicken bone
People wept
And swallowed their jewels
Entered like soldiers
Departed as fools
It isn't a sentence
It's not a reward
It's a black parachute
With a noose for a cord
And I say, and I say
It's coming in a second
And I say, and I say
In the blink of an eye
And I say, and I say
With a bang and a whimper
And I say it's OK
If you never say goodbye
And I say it's OK
If you never say goodbye
And I say it's OK
If you never say goodbye
And I say it's OK
