lyrics

he paid to have himself murdered

it was about that time
he called 0389
and paid to have himself murdered
he gave them all he had
then called his mum and dad
he’d paid to have himself murdered
seems like his life was getting dull
and everybody else’s was great
he thought he’d try to spice it all up
and take it to a spiritual place
he got the morning train
but it was not the same
he’d paid to have himself murdered
the faces glowed with light so all the carriage was bright
he’d paid to have himself murdered
he said he saw things differently now
and suddenly was truly awake
he felt his spirit soaring up
yes now he saw the gold on the lake
he saw the morning sun
and all the weight had gone
he’d paid to have himself murdered
so when the sniper hit
a smile played on his lips
he’d paid to have himself murdered
seems like he bought his own ticket out
well you could say he made a mistake
it crossed his mind to call them back
but he figured it was probably too late.
