Life's Such a Joy

I killed Jake the royal stallion
and painted the castle walls with his blood.
I lifted high his mangled foreleg
and crushed the nursery master's skull.

Life's such a joy
When a healthy boy can find his release
I cut my ties
and let my happy legs
walk off with my feet.

I tried to fill the need in my stomock
by making a soup of the master's brains.
To burn off some of the strength this gave me,
I opened a few of my mother's veins.

Life's such a joy
When a healthy boy can find his release
I cut my ties
and let my happy legs
walk off with my feet.

I kissed mom and bid the subjects good wishes
then set their miserable hovels alight.
I played my flute and clicked my heels
and gaily escaped under cover of night.

Life's such a joy
When a healthy boy can find his release
I cut my ties
and let my happy legs
walk off with my feet.
