lyrics

I once knew a boy
who always came to school late
always sat alone
staring at the back gate
now she's one of the most pretty
girls I've ever seen
I still come back to that old school
and see her crying

I once knew a girl
who plucked me out from heaven
asked me isn't it
so fucking dull up there
and I said yes
she left me fist held to her soul;
that look she gives me
Must I be a fire sign
engulfed by sea and

I once pulled a string
and you were on the other end
you asked me did I meet
the pidgeon with the letter that you sent
I wrapped her softly in a
blanket i replied, gave her some tea
she'd flown so far and couldn't make it
but she tried.




I once met a moon
I underestimated
just how gay she was
she left me fully wasted
that moon was just a meteor
they said to me the next day
I almost said a prayer but I
just said, "okay"

I once knew a girl
who had the deer-in-light stare
was cast in a film
a fully written nightmare
mad scientist director
waved around his giant sceptor
tore her heart out then instructed her to
do the scene without it

and I
once knew a man who died
listening to this song
