Lyrical Analysis of...
the guy upstairs
- The guy upstairs is such a freak.
- For five years now I've had a leak.
- What does he do up there?
- All day long he "sleeps all day,"
- Then 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 then at six am
- 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 sundry things.
- But it's the man upstairs who pulls the strings,
- Won't let me sleep.
- 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.
- I used to think that rent control was a good idea,
- Until I moved 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.
- 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.
- Then there's the lady across the hall,
- Who always knows what's going on.
- And Machu Pichu down the stairs,
- Who is selling crack from door to door.
- 14B are refugees and 14A transvestite whores.
- But you know who is coming home,
- He's falling up his drunken stairs.
- 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 night sleep.
