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 j**els 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 If you never say goodbye
