I'm in the business of misery
And business is good
Lying, crying eyes
And eyeing crying lies
Death and life
Life and death
Eternity in a wooden case
A final home
Unless
You give me some coin
And give me some qi
That's when eternity
Can become piety
Borne of forgiving alms
It's a sin
It's a beautiful evil
To bring back one's love
Back from behind The Veil
Sweet nightmares
And terrifying dreams
Rest well
Without rapture
With the singing of my song,
And the swing of staff,
The chant of my scriptures,
And my daemon in tow,
We can wish you
The very best
Because my business
Is your business
And your misery
Is my money
But it's worth every penny
I have a satisfaction guarantee
Just close your eyes
And hold your breath,
Then awake in something
Better than life
And stolen from death
