Issue No 123 Dreams Of Cannibalism Lyrics
Dreams Of Cannibalism by Issue No. 123
Unhand me, I am not a criminal
But I've played a guilty part
In the modern sense
That one pretends their life is original
I wrote a book and I will call it something cynical
The story's slow, the hero does not change
And if he can, then he won't anyway
Instead, his foes and lovers all become identical
I fled the country
I thought I'd leave this behind
But I built the same damn house
On every acre I could find
And I tried to fake my own death
Just to shake the devils from my mind
And I said:
[Chorus]
And I said:
Unhand me, I am not a criminal
And if I am, I paid the man
Just let me go
Soon enough you will be dancing at my funeral
But I've played a guilty part
In the modern sense
That one pretends their life is original
I wrote a book and I will call it something cynical
The story's slow, the hero does not change
And if he can, then he won't anyway
Instead, his foes and lovers all become identical
I fled the country
I thought I'd leave this behind
But I built the same damn house
On every acre I could find
And I tried to fake my own death
Just to shake the devils from my mind
And I said:
[Chorus]
And I said:
Unhand me, I am not a criminal
And if I am, I paid the man
Just let me go
Soon enough you will be dancing at my funeral
