The Day Before It Happened - The Legendary Pink Dots

The day before it happened

Nothing mattered

Well, at least that’s what you said…

I tried to catch your words

But managed ten percent…

I ???

against the wall

Close my eyes…

I try a little less

You let me use my intuition

You would not let me rest…

The day before

The day before it happened

Missiles flattened this poor village

By mistake…

They pulled a baby from the flakes…

Undamaged, smiling, wide awake…

A general cried;

Admitted: «Oh the lord, he moves in such mysterious ways.»

They docked his pay and shipped him to Antartica…

Now wasn’t that a shame?

The day before it happens

We shall all be unprepared…

Heard him shouting from the pulpit

Saw it splattered on the stairs…

Wondered if the time was right

To fix my teeth…

Dye my hair…

Next year…

Maybe next year…

Oh, the day it should have happened

Nothing happened

Next year

Next year
