Bingo - Master's Breakout
Fall · Other Songs - Fall
Colored balls in front of his eyes
It's number one for his kelly's eye
Treble-six right over his eye
A big shot's voice in his ears
Worlds of silence in his ears
All the numbers account for years
Checks the cards through eyes of tears
Bingo-master's breakout!
All he sees is the back of chairs
In the mirrora lack of hairs
A light roomwhich he fills out
Hear the players all shout
Bingo-master's breakout!
A glass of lager in his hand
Silver microphone in his hand
Wasting time in numbers and rhyme
One hundred blank faces buy
Bingo-master's breakout!
Came the time he flipped his lid
Came the time he flipped his lid
Holiday in spain fell through
Players put it down to
Bingo-master's breakout
A hall full of cards left unfilled
Ended his life with wine and pills
There's a grave somewhere only partly filled
A sign in a graveyard on a hill reads
Bingo-master's breakout
