The Man Upstairs

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The guy upstairs is such a freak For five years now I had a leak What does he do up there? All day long he sleeps all day He goes out and comes home in the most intoxicated way As far as I can tell he juggles bowling balls But he's not good at it He moves his furniture At six a.m he pulls out the vacuum cleaner to suck his room The guy downstairs is also crazy He spent some time in an institute it did him not much good He's off his medication and he starts screaming "Virgin Mary, you fucking alien!" According to him Jesus Christ smokes crack and other sundrid things But it's the man upstairs who pulls the strings, won't let me sleep [Chorus] Please, kill that man upstairs If you ever loved me you'll do this one thing, won't you sweetheart? Please, murder that man upstairs If you want to be my friend you'll have to prove you mean it [Verse 2] I used to think that rent control was a good idea Until I moved in here Now I'm the only sucker paying more than a hundred bucks a room And I'm surrounded by lunatics who don't even need a moon But it's the man upstairs who pulls the strings, won't let me sleep [Chorus] Please, kill that man upstairs If you ever loved me you'll do this one thing, won't you sweetheart? Please, murder that fuck upstairs If you want to be my friend you'll have to prove you mean it [Verse 3] Then there's the lady 'cross the hall Who always knows what's going on And Machu Picchu down the stairs Who's selling crack from door to door 14B are refugees 14A transvestite whores Well you know who is coming home, he's falling up his drunken stairs [Chorus] Please, kill that man upstairs If you ever loved me you'll do this one thing, won't you sweetheart? Please, murder that fuck upstairs If you want to be my friend you'll help me get a good nights sleep
