lyrics

Executioner, why have you been degrading me?
This is not the kind of thing
that comes without consequences.
Evidently I am not the world's greatest mind
at inventing plans of vengeance.
It seems just kind of pointless and hollow.

Executioner, why have you been picking sides again?
Left or right or right or wrong or down or up
or not in love anymore.
As a judg­e you are not impartial.
I hereby declare that it is a crime to pretend,
punishable by death.
Off with your head.

I hate pranks and I hate lies
and I hate knowing that I have been wasting your time.
I beg your forgiveness.
I command that you understand
that I landed awkwardly;
and that I am still recovering.

And this is not the kind of thing
that should come without consequences,
but evidently I am not the world's greatest mind
at inventing plans of vengeance.
it seems just kind of pointless and hollow.
I feel just kind of graceless and callow.
This is just lovelessness and sorrow.

But I have decided that by tomorrow
I will believe that the sparrows
will be back in time to play piano at the wedding.
They will play piano at the wedding.
You'd not believe how they play piano.
I swear they sound like angels when they fly away-
you would be lucky to dig their graves.
You would be lucky to dig their graves.

I feel just kind of graceless and hollow.
I swear they sound like angels when they fly away;
Like lovelessness and sorrow.
Oh God! I can hardly sleep...
The happiest day of my life is tomorrow.
I do believe that you would be lucky to dig their graves.

I do.
I do.
I do.
