Paroles de Needle boy

At the turn of the century i did many things to protect myself
I did many things to protect myself
I made myself a needle-boy

And i hid him in the closet
And i made myself a money-man
And i hid him underneath the mattress
I made myself a spider-child
And i put him in a matchbox
And i forged myself a golden statuette
And i wrapped him in a hello magazine
And i hid im in a wall safe
And finally i made myself a spade-girl
And i put her in a garden shed
All to protect myself, you see
From the demon that was coming from the east

Or from the west
Then i sat on the rooftop and i waited
And when at last the demon came
From the east or from the west
And awoke me from my sleep
And awoke me to a particular point of view
And the needle-boy stuck him in the eye
And the money-man chocked him with coins
The spider-child bit him on the ankle
And the statuette crashed crashed down upon his head
And the spade-girl buried him underneath the house
And i danced on the rooftops
And i danced on the rooftops
And i danced to the western world
And i danced to the western world
