The Residents - The Butcher lyrics

Run, run, fast as you can you can You can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man Run, run, fast as you can you can You can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man Buddy didn't say I'm sorry Buddy didn't ask to be excused Buddy didn't beg your pardon When he steps on you He leaves too much fat on these t-bones Jerk I know he's gonna leave without cleaning up again He knows I'll do it Damn this knife is dull I know I just sharpened it yesterday I know he used it He knows it's my favorite knife It's not supposed to be this way Everyone says that if you come back It's better than it was before But, but it's no different And what about the light? - what about the blue light? There's supposed to be a beautiful blue light But all I saw was eels Eels squirming everywhere And life doesn't have any more meaning Only Buddy It should have been him And he should, should have stayed there with the eels And, and, and all I can think about are his hands His hands and how they look graceful and strong and, and, and sensitive As they slice a section of rump roast Or, or split the hindquarters of a lamb And all I can think about are those same hands How they must caress the face of his wife And tie the shoe laces of his children And, and I can't stop I can't stop I can't stop
