The Day I Lost Everything Lyrics

I'm here on a mission To tell you exactly what can go wrong if you're not careful You see, it's like this: You're running down the staircase at random You take one step You take two steps You take seven steps Ten steps Two steps Fifteen steps Nineteen steps You're lying in a heap at the bottom of the staircase Blood, bones, powder, that sort of thing And you're wondering, how did i get here? And then you look up and you see It's a man in a cowl, it's a man in a cowl He opens his face to you It's jimmy [tarbuck] He is saying, "kiss the ring! kiss the ring!" And he says, "yes, there is a santa claus And anybody who blasphemes against santa or any of his helpers Shall die" What do you do? What do you do? End the thanks to the heavenly sky Its grey is getting lighter No peace of mind or sleep for you You haven't earned it yet And you won't by dusk, i bet Until you learn what futures you've destroyed We musn't see you sulk or get annoyed On the day i lost everything They couldn't help enough They shot my veins full of gelatine I said, "thank you very much You're too kind!" While they lived in luxury I made do with money, sweet money And now i'm going to measure the rain And you can sit and watch me -- look! look! Don't even think about not answering your phone It might be me and i know you're always home On the day i lost everything They couldn't help enough They stopped my clock and they folded my wings I said, "thank you very much For everything! It means I'm gonna Destroy you With my slings and my bullets" On the day i lost everything The sky was purest white And the clocks had stopped so i started to sing "the magpie sleeps tonight" On the day i lost everything
