lyrics

Not today, you sermonizing bastard
Not today, not today,
Not today, not today
It’s enough, you penny-ante player,
It’s enough, exit right
It’s my turn, it’s my light

In my hand the quill, the deed in my name
My turn to perish, my halo of flame
In my hand the coin, the scepter, the ring
And my tetanospasmin in the ear of the king

Pack it up, you womanizing sloucher
Pry the boards, pull the drapes,
pack the rapiers and capes
Think of me, you unlanceable boil
Think of me when you wake
from another bad dream

The stage and the arch, the funeral veil
I finally win even when I have failed
All eyes are on me, I cannot be seen
I touch what I will and I look as I please

Are you tired, my blown rose,
of watching your back every day, every night
Of the terror and blight?
Is it hard, you poor devil,
to live with the things you have witnessed and done:
Has it stolen your fun?

(How!) your wife kicks you out of the nuptial bed
(How!) the wicked moon lights on your tormented head
(How!) I hope that it has, that it roils in your gut
(How!) I hope that your friends all think you’ve lost your nut

[Spoken:]
Mooi is het om zoet te zijn,
als een bloesem die haar parfum nalaat
op de handen van de versnipperaar.
Maar al die barmhartigheid heeft één bestemming:
Hetzelfde paradijs dat toegewezen is
aan de lieve labrat.
Leef je bescheiden,
dan word je een povere opgestane.
Een planeet vol tweederangsgoden
paaiend tussen de paardenbloemen.
Ik ken niemand die voor mij een moord zou begaan.
