Gus And Frank Confessions Of A Rooftop Killer Lyrics

Confessions Of A Rooftop Killer Lyrics

(Ahhhhhhh Oh Ahhhhhhh)



come around children

I want to tell you a little story

Come around

Sit down

Shut the fuck up



The old man began with his hand on his working class heart

I swear on my grave that my days have been damned from the start

Shall I tell you my tale of woe

Let me sing before my days go

It’s a story of love and the darkness that drove it apart



My love song begins with the sins I’m compelled to confess

Maintaining deceit is a feit that I need to undress

It’s not gold or silver I stole

Nor slanderous lies that I told

These hands of mine held the same body they bludgeoned to death



I was born like a thief in the streets of the traders down south

In my youth any roof that was tiled sufficed as my house

My only friend in this world

Was a fatherless Japanese girl

In summer we’d curl up and sleep in that fruit box of ours



In the years that passed by she and I were like old working shoes

And never a face with such grace was seen south of the blues

Behind a beggar boys shield

My love for her was concealed

Still I prayed on the rooftops at night she’d eventually chose………..



(Ahhhhhhh Oh Ahhhhhhh)



choose me

be true to me………ahhgggg



He lived like a lord in a northern industrial town

And I understand secondhand it was love that he found

In the arms of my Japanese doll

They’d sleep till the church bells would toll

Then they’d wake and make passionate love till the sun rolled back down



Everyone knows I’m opposed to the taking of life

I’ve always believed good and evil are husband and wife

But jealousy sews deadly seeds

And harvests the darkest of deeds

I cut both their throats in the night with an old butchers
knife……………



ahhhggggggg



I swear every word that you’ve heard is the terrible truth

And now my young friend this song ends with the tangible proof

If you still do not believe

The loss for which I have grieved

You’ll find all the bones of my love in a box on my roof…………….



Ahhhhhhh etc etc etc………..ahhhhggggg



Hear my confession my only possession was born of obsession so pure…and so on
