The Legendary Pink Dots - The Day Before It Happened lyrics

The day before it happened, Nothing mattered. Well, at least that's what you said... I tried to catch your words But managed ten percent... I??? against the wall Close my eyes... I try a little less. You let me use my intuition, You would not let me rest... The day before The day before it happened, Missiles flattened this poor village By mistake... They pulled a baby from the flakes... Undamaged, smiling, wide awake... A general cried; Admitted: "Oh the lord, he moves in such mysterious ways." They docked his pay and shipped him to Antartica... Now wasn't that a shame? The day before it happens, We shall all be unprepared... Heard him shouting from the pulpit, Saw it splattered on the stairs... Wondered if the time was right To fix my teeth... Dye my hair... Next year... Maybe next year... Oh, the day it should have happened, Nothing happened. Next year. Next year.
