Lyrics

Philo Manitoba just sat outside today Setting fire to his legs until he burned himself away Through the confusion of the crowd He was a-laughing right out loud We're not about to know what prompted such a show Saw his sister in the aftermath and she did have to say "He drank a gasoline and phosphate at 4:00 p.m. today" She tried to give him all her help Until he soon transformed himself into a human bomb A real live human bomb Oh, the reporters and photographers came in from far and wide Only to find that they were speechless And for once thеir tongues were tiеd I never heard a silence fall like when his mother got the call At 4:08 today ... her son had gone away
