Cinema Strange - Mr. Quilt's Rotten Luck lyrics

rate me

1.

On a crooked, cobblestoned and ancient road I briskly

Strode when two men wearing bowler hats, curled

Moustaches, all in black, on a tandem bicycle went this

Way, that way till they fell beneath a coach-and-four.

2.

When I was just six I was rather curious regarding

Paternity. Just who could my father be? I think he was

Skeletal. I think he knew mother, well, controversially.

3.

Then some time much later on, during breakfast Aunt

Yvonne choked upon a bacon rind. She sang backwards,

Nearly died. Then there was my friend from school whose

Dog turned rabid, mad and cruel, and ate his master up.

4.

I would need more fingers than are given upon either hand

To count up all the sea-choked screams, calcined

Whispers, rendered seams, pudgy-pretzled baby limbs,

Punctured lungs and altered hymns I've seen and heard

Today...
