When there's not enough rigor but there's too much rigor mortis   You've got to ration love because you know that there's a shortage   She'll take you with a pinch of salt   And she'll give you no quarter   She's the queen of the short order   And you're a one-armed bandit   Gambling on a crash   Wearing a pair of silly glasses and a baby's wax moustache   In disguise   Like a schoolboy playing superspy   I'm gonna build me a coffin and get right in   Sometimes it's too much to see what's happening around me   I'm gonna build me a coffin and get right in   Sometimes it's too much to see what's happening around me   What's happening around me      Given the fact that you're losing, someone has already won   If you're finding life a bastard, someone somewhere's having fun   You're hooked and lined and sinkered but she'll   Throw you right back in again   A game of pool would do your head in   You know that Hell just isn't some kinda bottomless pit   It's a chair in a long white corridor and you're sitting in it   With clenched fists   The lifestyles of the rich and hopeless   I'm gonna build me a coffin and get right in   Sometimes it's too much to see what's happening around me   I'm gonna build me a coffin and get right in   Sometimes it's too much to see what's happening around me   What's happening around me      And they say that a change is gonna come   So just perhaps you're not the only one   They say that a change is gonna come   Why the hell are you acting deaf, blind, dumb   They say that a change is gonna come      Troops are camping at the border and of course they're champing at the bit   The concert's all security, you've bought your seat so sit in it   New features in the market square, it's just behind the porn exchange   Free executions here so all change   You know this town is a free for all, so please flash your cash   There's a big sale at the supermarket, garbage, pills and trash   Mind that ash   Big sister's missed the boat again   So I'm gonna build me a coffin and get right in   Sometimes it's too much to see what's happening around me   I'm gonna build me a coffin and get right in   Sometimes it's too much to see what's happening around me   What's happening around me   What's happening around me   I'm gonna build me a coffin and get right in
