I was working all night in my officeWhen a man I had recently killedCalled me up from a phone near my buildingSo I looked out the window at himHe had the same obsequious mannerThat was the reason I had him killedSo to calm my nerves I sang this songTo him, over the phone [etc.] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
