Plague has reached the city walls The hangman is upset: no work today They'll all die anyway A blond belief above the harvest What's with all the rye and thyme What's in it for fighting for your life It is as random as it's quiet And it is everywhere The black knight of death arrives Casts a funeral song All rise, oh What's not impossible just made it possible And look, you've found One of these days that will turn your life around And you shout it out loud Plague still feeds the city moles The hangman is upset: no work today They'll all die anyway You talk about a human harvest Handkerchiefs and suicides Postmen doing neigbours' wives They're all sides to what we call life While stumbling to its silver linings The man from your dream arrives You shake hands and he denies: "Oh, I'm most certainly not, but I do get that a lot" And look who's found One of those days that can turn a life around What lies behind your lies And between your alibies You don't really have to mention As random as it's quiet As random as it's quiet I'm out of the circulation What lies behind your lies And between your alibies You don't really have to mention I'm getting out of the circulation
