lyrics

When the agents come to my city, to my building, to my block
I think I’m gonna send them flowers, I mean in a flower pot,
Off the fire escape, at least eight or nine stories tall
And I’ll slip back through the window and watch them fall

When they’re ringing for the elevator, and they’re taking off their hats
I’ll bet they’ll hardly even notice I laid out the welcome mat,
Laid it over a bear trap hidden out in plain sight,
And I’ll be listenin from down the hall when I hear it bite

If you know my name or face you keep that to your goddamn self
If you ever happen to catch me out on the street
But if you want to buy me a drink, you can make mine neat

If they come up and knock on my door, on apartment 14-I,
I’ll say I knew that you were coming so I baked you all a pie,
Filled with apples, cherries, pears and cyanide
And I’ll read it in tomorrow’s paper how you all died.


And if you’re not drinking, that’s cool, I’ll just drink yours too
Cause in between raids I got nothing really better to do
Yeah,then I’m gonna have to ask you kindly, to forget that we ever did meet
But if you wanna buy me a drink, you can make mine neat.

Yeah, if you know my name or face you keep that to your goddamn self
If you ever happen to catch me out on the street
But if you want to buy me a drink, you can make mine neat
