lyrics

Once I was a hangman I rang the bell
Once I was a gravedigger but I came too close to hell
Once I was an astronaut I heard the angels cry
Once I was a goldfish I was doomed to die
Well I don’t know about you
But I don’t want to be a panda in the zoo
Encaged in a world so small
To eat, sleep, procreate inside until you are no more
This life could be meaningful but it probably means nothing at all

St Peter is the bouncer at heaven’s gate
But they breached the maximum occupancy centuries ago we’re far too late
The music there is muted and the drinks are watered down
It’s too perfect you couldn’t pay me to hang around
It sticks to you like glue or dog shit on your shoe
There’s no scaffolding against the wall we are all destined to fall
This could be a sign from god but it probably means nothing at all

Everyone is waiting for the nuclear bomb
I wouldn’t hold my breath but you should be alarmed
Everyone’s praying on their knees
Or else they’re getting drunk on their feet
There’s nothing left to say and it doesn’t matter anyway
Flashes before your eyes in the hall
Your life in photographs on the walls
It could be mean everything but it probably means nothing at all
