1
At the turn of the century I did many things to protect myself
2
I did many things to protect myself
3
I made myself a needle-boy
4
And I Hid him in the closet
5
And I made myself a money-man
6
And I hid him underneath the mattress
7
I made myself a spider-child
8
And I put him in a matchbox
9
And I forged myself a golden statuette
10
And I wrapped him in a hello magazine
11
And I hid I'm in a wall safe
12
And finally I made myself a spade-girl
13
And I put her in a garden she'd
14
All to protect myself, you see
15
From the demon that was coming from the East
16
Or from the west
17
Then I sat on the rooftop and I waited
18
And when at last the demon came
19
From the East or from the West
20
And awoke me from my sleep
21
And awoke me to a particular point of view
22
And the needle-boy stuck him in the eye
23
And the money-man chocked him with coins
24
The spider-child bit him on the ankle
25
And the statuette crashed crashed down upon his head
26
And the spade-girl buried him underneath the house
27
And I danced on the rooftops
28
And I danced on the rooftops
29
And I danced to the western world
30
And I danced to the western world
