The Lyrics
Mornings in coffin—“nighttime” is “morning.”
Black night in offin’, fly like a bird. . .
OK, I'm meaning, like a bat soaring.
OK! I'm gleaning flesh and no GERD.*
Sweet the vein’s juice fall; once bit, undead ’un.
Liking that sluice fall from the thirst gash.
Praising the sweet fress of the wet carbon-
based life form. Eat less? Ha! Monster Mash.
Die in the sunlight, die in the morning;
Snoring’s not done right except by day.
Praising libation grazed from the gorging—
Blood satiation coming my way.

JAB - Great Halloween song by (Black) Cat Stevens. How about "I'm being followed by a death shadow"? Fine as usual. ;D
funReally funNicely funDone unDead!
Very funny twist to such a reverent song. The first time I heard this song was in German by Peter Alexander (I think).
So, CaptainJack, I see you've 'dropped Anchor' again Sir, ~Le Duke aux ReFux ~
You caught me out with fress (fressen). Hadn't heard of it. Not even in the Oxford English.
Loved the title switch, and for some reason "... in offin'" tickled, as a clever rhyme for coffin. This proton pump has no inhibitor - it's reflexively pumping tripentavotathene right down your throat!
555, and missed you *very much* all last week -- since October 1st., actually. (wow, was that subtle, or what? ;)
