Regina Spektor - Daniel Cowman

On the day that Daniel Cowman stopped existing The world should've ended right then and there At precisely four-fifteen when he stopped existing The world should've ended How could it go on?How could it go on?How could it go on?Oh and I don't exist I don't exist And now that we got that straight, doesn't mean that i can fly Doesn't mean that i can go do whatever i want Now that we got that clear, and you know that i'm not here Doesn't mean that i can go do whatever i please The premature ejaculation of his death sentence Hit daniel in the face like a big round spitball And everything got hazy in the courtroom And then he stood up and then he sat back down Another two times in a row And everything got real slow like a gunshot in the movies And he remembered heroin boy walking through the door Bouncing off the walls and the floor Taking off his belt, taking off his pants Filling up the bathtub, getting ready to go in for a swim Singing, i don't exist... And now that we got that straight, doesn't mean that i can fly Doesn't mean that i can go do whatever i want Now that we got that clear, and you know that i'm not here Doesn't mean that i can go do whatever i please And he start remembering and remembering and remembering And remembering The heroin boy'd walk through the door And he was screaming and everybody was, like, What're you screaming as if it's the end of the world? And he was, like, well it is And i was sitting in the corner with my pants down And i was sure someone next door was blowing up balloons And they was red and orange And there was this one lady at the bar and she was trying to buy gin And this other lady at the bar and she was trying to sell gin And it worked out good for the boths of them And heroin boy started taking off his belt Started taking off his pants, started taking off his shoes Filling up the bathtub, getting ready to go in for a swim I says, no--you're gonna drown And he says, no--i can't drown Simply because Shhhh... A man destined to hang Can never drown,A man destined to hang Can never drown,A man destined to hang Can never ever drown.A man destined to drown Can never burn,A man destined to drown Can never burn,A man destined to drown Can never ever burn.A man destined to fry Can never ever ever A man destined to fry Can never ever ever A man destined to fry Can never ever ever die In any other way but frying,Lucky that I'm dying By hanging and not drowning.So now that we got that straight Can't I just be left alone?I want to take a fuckin' bath.
