  man's voice:
  
  ---(?) north and south..
  and this one woman, she was 23 or 24
  and she was laying on the bed
  and you knew she was going to die...
  
  // howl //
  
  and, uh, we gave her a bottle of shampoo---
  
  // switch tv channel //
  
  // chopping, howling, horse neigh & sleigh bells //
  
  // horse & sleigh bells passes by //
  
  when the sleigh is heavy
  
  // horse neigh //
  
  and the timber wolves are getting bold
  you look at your companions
  and test the water of their friendship
  with your toe
  they significantly edge
  closer to the gold
  each man has his price, bob
  and yours was pretty low
  
  now history is short, the sun is just a minor star
  the poor man sells his kidneys
  in some colonial bazaar
  ce sera sera
  is that your new ferrari car
  
  // sports car roars by //
  
  yes... but i think i'll wait for the f50
  
  you don't have to be a jew
  to disapprove of murder
  tears burn my eyes
  moslem or christian, mullah or pope
  preacher or poet, who was it wrote
  give any one species too much rope
  and they'll fuck it up
  
  and last night on tv
  
  // whistle //
  
  a vietnam vet
  
  // gong //
  
  takes his beard and his pain
  and his alienation twenty years
  
  // crowd sounds //
  
  back to asia again
  sees the monsters they made
  in formaldehyde floating 'round
  meets a gook on a bike
  a good little tyke
  
  /* the album lyrics include the line "a nice enough guy" here. */
  
  with the same soldier's eyes
  
  what does it mean
  this tearjerking scene
  beamed into my home
  that it moves me so much
  why all the fuss
  it's only two humans being
  it's only two humans being
  
  tears burn in my eyes
  what does it mean
  this tender tv
  this tearjerking scene
  beamed into my home
  and you don't have to be a jew
  to disapprove of murder
  tears burn my eyes
  moslem or christian, mullah or pope
  preacher or poet, who was it wrote
  give any one species too much rope
  and they'll fuck it up

  // rifle being cocked //
  
  man:

  woman:
