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
