Confessions Of A Rooftop Killer lyrics

(Ahhhhhhh Oh Ahhhhhhh)

come around children
I want to tell you a little story
Come around
Sit down
Shut the fuck up

The old man began with his hand on his working class heart
I swear on my grave that my days have been damned from the start
Shall I tell you my tale of woe
Let me sing before my days go
It�s a story of love and the darkness that drove it apart

My love song begins with the sins I�m compelled to confess
Maintaining deceit is a feit that I need to undress
It�s not gold or silver I stole
Nor slanderous lies that I told
These hands of mine held the same body they bludgeoned to death

I was born like a thief in the streets of the traders down south
In my youth any roof that was tiled sufficed as my house
My only friend in this world
Was a fatherless Japanese girl
In summer we�d curl up and sleep in that fruit box of ours

In the years that passed by she and I were like old working shoes
And never a face with such grace was seen south of the blues
Behind a beggar boys shield
My love for her was concealed
Still I prayed on the rooftops at night she�d eventually chose���..

(Ahhhhhhh Oh Ahhhhhhh)

choose me
be true to me���ahhgggg

He lived like a lord in a northern industrial town
And I understand secondhand it was love that he found
In the arms of my Japanese doll
They�d sleep till the church bells would toll
Then they�d wake and make passionate love till the sun rolled back down

Everyone knows I�m opposed to the taking of life
I�ve always believed good and evil are husband and wife
But jealousy sews deadly seeds
And harvests the darkest of deeds
I cut both their throats in the night with an old butchers knife�����

ahhhggggggg

I swear every word that you�ve heard is the terrible truth
And now my young friend this song ends with the tangible proof
If you still do not believe
The loss for which I have grieved
You�ll find all the bones of my love in a box on my roof�����.

Ahhhhhhh etc etc etc���..ahhhhggggg

Hear my confession my only possession was born of obsession so pure�and so on
