Title: Daniel Cowman

Lyrics Daniel Cowman

On the day that Daniel Cowman stopped existing
The world should've ended right then and there
At precisely 4:15 when he stopped existing
The world should've ended
How could it go on?
How could it go on?
How could it go on?

Oh and I don't exist
I don't exist
I don't exist
I don't exist
I don't exist
I don't exist
I don't exist
I don't exist

And now that we got that straight
Doesn't mean that I can fly
Doesn't mean that I can go do whatever I want
And now that we got that clear
And you know that I'm not here
Doesn't mean that I can go do whatever I please

The premature ejaculation of his death sentence
Hit Daniel in the face like a big round spitball
(Hwok-perfff!)
And everything got hazy in the courtroom
And then he stood up and then he sat back down another two times in a row
And everything got real slow like a gunshot in the movies
And he remembered heroin boy
Walking through the door, bouncing off the walls and the floor
Taking off his belt, taking off his pants
Filling up the bathtub, getting ready to go in for a swim

Singing I don't exist
I don't exist
I don't exist
I don't exist
I don't exist
I don't exist
I don't exist
I don't exist
I don't exist
I don't exist

And now that we got that straight
Doesn't mean that I can fly
Doesn't mean that I can go do whatever I want
And now that we got that clear
And you know that I'm not here
Doesn't mean that I can go do whatever I please

And he started remembering and remembering and remembering and remembering and remembering
The heroin boy'd walk through the door
He was screaming
And everybody was like, "Why're you screaming as if it's the end of the world?"
And he was like, "Well, it is"
And I was sitting in the corner with my pants down
And I was sure that someone next door was blowing up balloons
And they was red and orange
And there was this one lady at the bar and she was trying to buy gin
And this other lady at the bar and she was trying to sell gin
And it worked out good for the both somehow
And heroin boy started taking off his belt
Started taking off his pants, started taking off his shoes
Filling up the bathtub, getting ready to go in for a swim
I says, "no - you're gonna drown"
And he says, "no - I can't drown
"Simply because..."
Shhh...

A man destined to hang can never drown [x2]
A man destined to hang can never ever drown

A man destined to drown can never burn [x2]
A man destined to drown can never ever burn

A man destined to fry can never ever ever [x2]
A man destined to fry can never ever ever die
In any other way but frying
Lucky that I'm dying by hanging
And not drowning

So now that we got that straight
Can't I just be left alone
I want to take a fuckin' bath
