(Our time it is fleeting, in riches we rot) The grander your blessings the Lesser the days that we’ve got Five, four, three, two, one… Doesn’t it make you sad? All the time that you thought you had He kisses his daughter He kisses his wife He mutters a prayer And takes hold of the knife And outside the window The sky’s raining blood He slices the meat After us the flood He kisses his daughter He kisses his wife He brushes her hair And he swats at a fly And outside the window The sky’s raining blood There’s mould on the bread after us the flood Like I give a damn After us the flood He slices the meat After us the flood What is it to me, After us the flood www.charlottewessels.nl
