I Heard His Scythe

[Verse 1]
Sometimes you touch the electric fence
Find out what you don’t like
Know for next time, if there is a next time
I burnt the roof of my mouth
Look at me now
I’m scaling the brickwork
I just barely make this thing work

[Pre-Chorus]
And I hope you feel that unease
When you’re walking down the street
Thinking you might spot me
Because I felt that way too
And now I want you to
A joke with a seed of truth cut right through

[Chorus]
I heard his scythe whoosh past my ear
It gets a little louder every year
You’re a closed book ready to topplе my row of ducks
You’re a closed book

[Pre-Chorus]
And I hope you feel that unеase
When you’re walking down the street
Thinking you might spot me
Because I felt that way too
And now I want you to
A joke with a seed of truth cut right through

[Chorus]
I heard his scythe whoosh past my ear
It gets a little louder every year
You’re a closed book ready to topple my row of ducks
