You fell too fastnLike a cannon balln? Fishnet stocking hands caught me againnAnd your head explodes like nothing's wrongnMy God, we laid there silent, for an hournAnd the birds they watched like a funeralnAnd they sang us all their pretty funeral songsn? HalleluianWhat a mess that you have made again this timen??nAnd the birds they cry and watch us as we ?nAnd as we fallnnAnd we must have laid alone for hoursnI could feel your cold blood creeping up my armnAnd I asked you if you were all rightnBut the bubbles from your mouth gave out alarmnAnd our mothers ran towards your ghostnWhile our fathers tried to fix your eggshell head?nAnd they're singing humpty dumpty HalleluianThe king himself could not fix you againnNow I sing because I miss younAnd I meant to tell you that but I was scarednI was scared
