lyrics

I was running
Real real fast
When I tripped
And fell down

(He fell down he fell down he fell down he fell)

As I fell
I looked ahead
The elevator doors
Were opening up

(They were opening up... How unfortunate)

But the problem
Was, you see
The elevator was gone
Not on my floor

(It was probably on floor 21; they were having a cocktail party)

I slid for a while
And then, you see
I went through the doors
To meet my doom

(To meet his doom... again)

My eyelid got caught on a rusty nail while I was falling through an elevator shaft
Oh no, not again
It happened to me just Thursday last
I don't think I can take it
No, not again
My eyelid got caught on a rusty nail while I was falling through an elevator shaft

While I was hanging
I got real pissed
My dentist appointment
Was just missed

(He had an appointment with Dr. Berry; it took him two months to make it)

But there was really nothing
That I could do
Except just hang there
And be blue

(We're talking navy blue, not none of that royal crap)

I waited and waited
For someone to come by
But nobody did
I wonder why

(They were all at the selfsame cocktail party I've been referring to)

Then I looked up
And to my surprise
The elevator was coming
To force my demise

(To force his demise... again)

My eyelid got caught on a rusty nail while I was falling through an elevator shaft
Oh no, not again
It happened to me just Thursday last
I don't think I can take it
No, not again
My eyelid got caught on a rusty nail while I was falling through an elevator shaft

The Flaming Intestines Cincinnati, Ohio

From the beginning of time, The Flaming Intestines lived in a trailer park, located due East of the Magma Core of the Earth. A suburb of Hell. One afternoon as they were practicing for an upcoming gig, an unexpected surge of molten lava swept them away in its current. Eventually, they were spewed upward and out of the mouth of a normally dormant volcano in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. ... more
