With the men from the
Old Valhalla Road Crematorium
Boring men with the same old patter
I am a simple man
Not much to gain or lose
And I don't know why I held out
So long for me and you
Until he drew a swallow on my neck
And more, I will not say
He drew a swallow deep and blue
And soon, everyone knew
Then I was wrecked again
With the men full of bluff and ardor
From a well known funeral parlor
I am a simple man
Not much to gain or lose
Older and wiser
Never applies to me
And so he drew a swallow on my neck
And more, I will not say
He drew a swallow, deep and blue
And soon, everyone knew
You have been telling me
That I have been acting childish
Foolish, ghoulish and childish
Oh, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know but I don't mind
I don't mind and I don't mind
I don't mind
Oh, I have been smashed again With the men from the Old Valhalla Road Crematorium Boring men with the same old patter I am a simple man Not much to gain or lose And I don't know why I held out So long for me and you Until he drew a swallow on my neck And more, I will not say He drew a swallow deep and blue And soon, everyone knew Then I was wrecked again With the men full of bluff and ardor From a well known funeral parlor I am a simple man Not much to gain or lose Older and wiser Never applies to me And so he drew a swallow on my neck And more, I will not say He drew a swallow, deep and blue And soon, everyone knew You have been telling me That I have been acting childish Foolish, ghoulish and childish Oh, I know, I know, I know I know, I know but I don't mind I don't mind and I don't mind I don't mind Explain Request ×
