The Man Upstairs

Voltaire

The Guy Upstairs is such a freak,

for five years now I've had leak.

What does he do up there?

All day long he "sleeps all day"

then he goes out and comes home

in the most intoxicated way.

As far as I can tell, he juggles bowling ball

but he's not good at it

He moves his furniture then at six am

he pulls out the vacuum cleaner

to suck his room

The guy downstaires is also crazy,

he spent some time in an institute.

It did him not much good.

He's off his medication

and he starts screaming,

"Virgin Mary, you fucking alian!"

According to him Jesus Christ smokes crack

and other sundry things.

But it's the man upstairs who pulls there strings,

won't let me sleep.



Please kill that man upstairs.

If you ever loved me, you''ll do this one thinh,

won't you sweetheart?

Please, murder the man upstairs. If you want to be my friend

you'll have to prove you mean it.



I used to think that rent control was a good idea

until I moved in here, Now I'm the only suckr

paying more then a hundred bucks a room.

And I'm surronded by luatics that don't

even need a moon.

But it's the man upstairs who pulls the strings

won't let me sleep



Then there's the lady across the hall

who always knows what's going on

and Machu Pinchu down the stairs

who is selling crack from door to door.

14B are refugees and 14A transvestite whores,

but you know who is coming home.

He's falling up his drunken stairs.



...if you want to be my friend

you'll help me get a good night sleep.
