LYRICS:

The guy upstairs is such a freak.

for five years now i've had a leak.

what does he do up there?

All day long he "sleeps all day"

then he goes out and comes home

in the most intoxicated way.

As far as i can tell, he juggles bowling balls

but he's not good at it.

He moves his furniture then at six am

he pulls out the vacuum cleaner

to suck his room.

The guy downstairs is also crazy.

he spent some time in an institute.

it did him not much good

He's off his medication

and he starts screaming

"Virgin Mary, you fucking alien!"

According to him Jesus Christ smokes crack

and other sundry things.

But it's the man upstairs who pulls the strings,

won't let me sleep.

Please, kill that man upstairs.

if you ever loved me, you'll do this one thing,

won't you sweetheart?

Please murder that man upstairs.

if you want to be my friend

you'll have to prove you mean it.

I used to think that rent control was a good idea

until i moved here. now I'm the only sucker

paying more than a humdred bucks a room

And i'm surrounded by lunatics who don't

even need a moon

But it's the man upstairs who pulls the strings

won't let me sleep...

Please, kill that man upstairs.

if you ever loved me, you'll do this one thing,

won't you sweetheart?

Please murder that fuck upstairs.

if you want to be my friend

you'll have to prove you mean it.

Then there's the lady across the hall

who always knows what's going on

and Machu Pichu down the stairs

who is selling crack from door to door.

14B are refuges and 14A transvestite whores.

But you know who is coming home

He's falling up his drunken stairs...

Please, kill that man upstairs.

if you ever loved me, you'll do this one thing,

won't you sweetheart?

Please murder that fuck upstairs.

...if you want to be my friend

you'll help me get a good night sleep

No night is complete without at least one song from Voltaire. Plus this describes most of my tenants.

I imagine the "But it's the man upstairs who pulls the stringswon't let me sleep..." part actually means the guy is just playing the violin or the harp.

Technically National Blasphemy Day has begun for me since it's midnight here, so let's get started, shall we?Kicking off the morning are classics from Aurelio Voltaire's 'The Devil's Bris', starting with 'The Man Upstairs'.

...what to do when "the man upstairs" is your own bloody imagination, though? Can't get a good night's sleep to save my life unless I'm drunk off my arse...

I identify with this song so much. Our upstairs neighbor is crazy and vacuums his room all the time to keep the voices away.

Am I drunk or does it sound like god is the one upstairs? Leak=reain Noises=lighning vaccum=tornados. Guy downstairs is crazy=devil. I would say if Christianity was this house it would be like this. Humanity in the middle amonst demons and lost souls. Mend control is also something that is promised but nothing is good anyway :) Either I am really tired and drunk or that made freaking sense!
