My goodness, what a crying shame All my mistakes are exactly the same Yesterday I fell asleep in the ocean breeze Today I woke up on a bed of fallen trees I'm sure there's something to be learned From watching the windmills turn I see you everywhere I go Marching around with a buffalo skull My goodness, what else could I do? I threw my hat and it landed next to you You've paid in blood, you've paid in gold But now my friend you're getting old I'm sure there's something to be learned From waiting for the sun to return I see you everywhere I go Marching around with a buffalo skull

I put on my shoes and I went for a walk Ran into a pretty woman when I turned the block She said "I know taekwondo" I said "I know Edgar Poe" She said "What's the difference?" I said "I don't know" She took my hand, she read my mind And said "I'll treat you nice if you treat me kind" I said "Hey, how come you're acting this way?" She said "It feels just like the judgment day" Gabriel was down in the poker hall Trying to bet but nobody would call So he took his cash and went to the bar Sat down next to a movie star She looked at him and he looked forlorn He said "I think I'm ready to blow my horn" She slapped his face and said "What's that you say?" He said "Well it feels just like the judgment day" William Blake put on a hat with a plume And ran down to the emergency room He found his friend Dante in a hospital gown He said "Hey Dante, you look like a clown!" Dante took a swing at William but he missed William said "You and I just can't exist" Then he said "Look at the stars! They're turning grey! And it feels just like the judgment day" Michelangelo took his horse in to town But twenty-nine pilgrims knocked him down The sheriff's daughter picked him back up And gave him a sip of wine from a silver cup She said "Take me to that place on Mars Where all the ladies smoke cigars" He made a weird face and then he skipped away Singing "It feels just like the judgment day" King Henry left his castle and he sat in the park He wanted to watch the day turn dark A stranger came up and started to pray Henry said "You think I was born yesterday?" And he went back to his castle, turned on the TV And watched a five hour special about the Norwegian Sea But then his castle began to shake and sway And he screamed "It feels just like the judgment day" Thomas and Muhammad were drinking champagne Sitting by a window, watching the rain Down on the street there was a violent fight Muhammad said "I hope this doesn't take all night" Thomas said "I doubt it will" And he put his feet up on the window sill Muhammad said "I don't know how long I can stay Because it feels just like the judgment day"

I wrote everyone a letter And I stamped that envelope But I then lost it to the weather And I forgot the words I wrote Well I can hear that hearse a-rollin' Like a freight train from the coast And the chapel bells are tollin' Just like a midnight ghost Now the streets are filled with mourners And I'm hiding in a shack And there's a gypsy in the corner He keeps sayin' "Watch your back" Well I'm no good at keeping secrets But if I talk, I know I'm toast So I guess I'll keep on sneakin' Just like a midnight ghost Don't I always get in trouble Any time i make a sound? Still I think I prefer trouble Over never being found So I'm gonna run up to that jailhouse I'm gonna brag and I'm gonna boast And I'm gonna end up on the gallows Just like a midnight ghost

Well I'm living in the basement of a royal Eskimo Yes I'm living in the basement of a royal Eskimo She keeps tellin' me to get out, but I got nowhere to go The neighbor killed my rooster, and he killed my pony too The neighbor killed my rooster, he killed my pony too Then he put 'em out by the railroad and covered them up with bamboo I got a two ton hippo sittin' on the front porch I got a two ton hippo sittin' out on the front porch I'm gonna take it into town, I'm gonna carry a torch Why don't you call up St. Patrick, call St. Peter too Call up St. Patrick, call St. Peter too I know you might not want to see them, but baby they really wanna talk with you
