1
Well ah jumpt! and fled this fucken heap on doctored wings
2
Mah flailin pinions, with splints and rags and crutches!
3
(Damn things nearly hardly flap)
4
Canker upon canker upon one million tiny punctures
5
That look like...
6
Long thin red ribbons draped across the arms of a lil mortal girl
7
(Like a ground -plan of Hell)
8
Curse these smartin strings! These fucken ruptures!
9
Enough! Enough is enough!
10
(If this is Heaven ah'm bailin out)
11
If this is Heaven ah'm bailin out
12
Ah caint tolerate this ol tin-tub
13
So fulla trash and rats! Felt one crawl across mah soul
14
For a seckon there , as thought as wassa back down in the ghetto!
15
(Rats in Paradise! Rats in Paradise!)
16
Ah'm bailin out! There's a mutiny in Heaven!
17
Ah wassa born...
18
And Lord shakin, even then was dumpt into some icy font,
19
like some great stinky unclean!
20
From slum-chuch to slum-church, ah spilt mah heart
21
To some fat cunt behind a screen...
22
Evil poppin eye presst up to the opening
23
He'd slide shut the lil perforated hatch...at night mah body
24
blusht
25
To the whistle of the birch
26
With a lil practice ah soon learnt to use in on mahself
27
Punishment?! Reward!! Punishment?! Reward!!
28
Well, ah tied on...percht on mah bed ah was...
29
sticken a needle in mah arm...
30
Ah tied off! Fucken wings burst out mah back
31
(Like ah was cuttin teeth!!)
32
Ah took off!!!
33
(Rats in Paradise! Rats in Paradise!)
34
There's a mutiny in Heaven!
35
Oh Lord, ah git down on mah knees
36
(Ah git down on mah knees and start to pray)
37
Wrapped in mah mongrel wings, ah nearly freeze
38
In the howlin wind and drivin rain
39
(All the trash blowin round '' round)
40
>From slum-heaven into town
41
Ah take mah tiny pain and rollin back mah sleeve
42
(Roll anna roll anna roll anna roll)
43
Ah yank the drip outa mah vein! UTOPIATE! Ah'm bailin out!
44
UTOPIATE!
45
If this is Heaven ah'm bailin out!
46
Mah threadbare soul teems with vermin and louse
47
Thoughts come like a plague to the head...in God's house!
48
Mutiny in Heaven!
49
(Ars infectio forco Dio)
50
To the plank!
51
(Rats in Paradise! Rats in Paradise!)
52
Ah'm bailin out!
53
(Hail Hypuss Dermio Vita Rex!)
54
Hole inna ghetto! Hole inna ghetto!
55
(Scabio Murem per Sanctum...Dio, Dio, Dio)
