Regina Spektor - The soup lyrics

[Chorus] The soup The soup The soup [x7] [Verse] The soup was hot and spilt pea and on the stove And Michael and Marry and Bugsy and Buster were all occupied The pictures as clear as illusion in their mind And the plan was foolproof, there was so much to do First they'd decide who'd drive the car Who'd wear the masks and who'd arrange the cops Then they'd decide what were the rules When do you shoot and when do you hold back They'd synchronize their watches and the heartbeats in their ribcages This can't be a mess, this can't be a mess Nobody knows how it comes to be That they think that they must and they do what they can But the cops are right there and the sirens they blare And the by starers stare and everyone just stands Bugsy went down first, then Marry then Michael drove off and Buster just ran He was running like a child, running in a game of tag Until he was hit, until he was "It" [Chorus][x9]
