Eleven Executioners - Momus.mp3

[00:14.64]Eleven top hats
[00:17.70]In the club vestibule
[00:20.94]Eleven gentlemen's cloaks
[00:23.13]Hanging up by the black swimming pool
[00:27.51]Eleven gentlemen dancing
[00:30.33]Each in a style of his own
[00:33.60]One is discreetly conversing
[00:37.50]On a cordless telephone
[00:39.78]And the first he kills only the wicked
[00:42.99]And the second kills only the good
[00:46.32]And the third he kills people more handsome than him
[00:49.83]And the fourth kills the misunderstood
[00:53.01]And the fifth kills the women who've loved him
[00:56.31]And the sixth kills the couldn't-care-less
[00:59.94]The seventh kills people who fill questionnaires in
[01:03.27]The eighth kills the deeply depressed
[01:06.33]And the ninth kills the twentieth century
[01:09.69]And the tenth waits to kill you and me
[01:12.99]The eleventh kills only our fear of the tenth
[01:16.80]The best executioner he
[01:27.00]At some ungodly hour in the morning
[01:30.30]The predictable quarrels begin
[01:34.05]The first gentleman without warning
[01:36.87]Slugs the second one square on the chin
[01:40.32]And the third says the fourth is too ugly
[01:43.62]And the fifth warns the sixth not to start
[01:46.92]And the seventh stops dead in his telephone call
[01:50.22]A stiletto has punctured his heart
[01:53.52]And the eighth is sick in the cistern
[01:56.88]And the floodwaters fuse all the lights
[02:00.18]And the ninth drops his copy of 'Jane's Defence Systems' on the floor
[02:05.13]In an act of sheer spite
[02:08.40]And the tenth drums his fingers and swings his feet
[02:11.73]Because somebody's stolen his scythe
[02:15.03]'Til an expert in brinksmanship brings him complete
[02:18.66]A medium range nuclear device
[02:23.55]And now chairs will be placed on the dance floor
[02:26.88]And now lights will be trained on the bar
[02:30.03]And a puppet will sing a morality
[02:33.21]As an idiot strums a guitar
[02:36.45]While the gentlemen sit with erections
[02:39.69]You perform in a transparent skirt
[02:43.29]A climax without satisfaction
[02:46.29]And a murder in which you're not hurt
[02:49.86]And me, I sit where the gentlemen sit
[02:54.39]And we love you
[02:59.61]And we love you
[03:02.67]Yes we love you
[03:06.00]I assure you we do
