[00:31.78]Ah'm enquirin on behalf of his soul
[00:36.84]Ah'd be beholdin to ya all
[00:40.60]For a lil information, just a little indication
[00:49.28]Just who'll dig the hole?
[01:00.22]When ya done ransackin' his room
[01:04.42]grabbin any damn thing that shines,
[01:07.90]throw the scraps down on the street
[01:12.11]Like all his books and his notes.
[01:15.52]All his books and his notes and
[01:16.90]All the junk that he wrote
[01:19.82]the whole fucken lot right up in smoke
[01:24.37]Ain't there nuthin sacred anymore
[01:37.04]Won't someone will build a box for Black Paul?
[01:46.58]And their shootin off his guns
[01:49.90]and their shootin off their mouths
[01:53.69]saying 'Fuck with us ... and die!'
[01:56.63]'Fuck with us ... and die!'
[01:58.88](Let's see that rat of fear go scuttle in their skulls)
[02:02.87]'Cover that eye! Cover that frozen eye!'
[02:09.59]Black-puppet, in a heap up against the stoning-wall
[02:25.25]Black-puppet, go to sleep, ma-ma won't scold ya anymore
[02:39.53]Armies of ants, wade up the lil red streams
[02:44.72]they're headin for the mother-pool
[02:48.87]O lord, it's cruel! O man it's hot! O man it's hot and
[02:57.68]And some of them ants they just climb to the spot
[03:02.47]Who threw the first stone at Black Paul?
[03:14.16]'Don't ask us', say the critics and the hacks
[03:18.34]The pen-pushers and the quacks
[03:21.26]'We jes cum to git dah facks!'
[03:23.78]'We jes cum to git dah facks!'
[03:26.52]Hey, hey, hey, hey...
[03:36.30]Here is the hammer, that built the scaffold,
[03:42.37]and built the box...
[03:51.57]Here is the shovel, that dug the hole,
[03:57.63]in this ground of rocks...
[04:07.54]And here is the pile of stones!
[04:10.75]and for each one planted, God only knows,
[04:13.68]a blood-rose grown...
[04:16.01]These are the true Demon-Flowers!
[04:19.61]These are the true Demon-Flowers!
[04:22.14]Stand back everyone! Blood-black everyone!
[04:42.57]Who'll build a box for Black Paul?
[04:58.23]Who'll carry it up the hill?
[05:07.63]'Not I', said the widow, adjusting her veil
[05:11.01]'Ah will not drive the nail
[05:13.68]Or cart his puppet-body home,
[05:16.98]For ah done that one hundred times before,
[05:20.79]Yeah! ah done that one hundred times or more,
[05:23.72]And why should ah dress his wounds?
[05:27.70]When he has wounded my dress, nightly,
[05:31.74]Right across the floor'
[05:37.73]Who'll build a box for Black Paul?
[05:53.38]Who'll carry it up the hill?
[06:08.91]Who'll bury it in the black-soil?
[06:19.65]And from the woods and the thickets
[06:21.62]Come the ghosts of his victims
[06:24.13]'We love you!'
[06:25.56]'Ah love you!'
[06:27.52]'and this will not hurt a bit,
[06:30.95]Outta my eyes was your rise to full glory
[06:34.20]Spring up from the corp of life
[06:36.49]We'll go up, up, up, up, up into Death
[06:40.40]up, up, up, up, inhale its breath
[06:47.92]O yes, Death favours those that favor Death'
[07:04.92]Here is the stone, and this is the inscription it bare:
[07:19.69]'Below Lies Black Paul, Under The Upper...
[07:23.72]But Above and Beyond The Surface-Flat-Fall There.'
[07:32.72]And all the angels come on down,
[07:38.73]And all you men and women crowd around
[07:42.48]And all the old widows weeping into their skirts
[07:45.98]And all the lil gals and the lil Boys
[07:49.83]And the scribes with their pens poised
[07:53.41]All the hullaballoo, all the norse
[07:57.67]All the hullaballoo, all the noise
[08:01.12]All the hullaballoo, all of the noise
[08:06.07]clears his throat of black blood
[08:12.21]singin Black Paul like a lonely boy...
[08:19.05]We-e-e-ll, ah have cried one thousand tears
[08:22.82]Ah've cried a thousand tears, its true
[08:26.38]And the next stormy night you know,
[08:29.51]That ah'm still cryin them for you
[08:34.51]Well, ah had a gal she was so sweet,
[08:37.86]Red dress, and long red hair hangin down
[08:41.84]And heaven yes ain't heaven
[08:45.19]Without that lil girl hangin around
[08:49.77]Well, ya know ah've beenn a bad-man
[08:53.32]and Lord knows ah done some good things too
[08:57.27]But ah confess, my soul will never rest
[09:01.09]Until you've, until you've build
[09:08.39]Until you've built a box for my gal, too.
[09:19.48]my gal, too
[09:27.24]my gal, too
