"The Ballad of Eustace Booth" lyrics

"The Ballad of Eustace Booth"

Eustace Booth, while falling from the roof
Discovered he could fly
Up he flew and grew wings to boot
And now he didn't want to die

No one wants to die now, Honey

Eustace Booth grew talons from his shoes
And circled round the sky
Feathers grow, a beak instead of nose
A whole new lease on life

No one wants to die now, Honey

And on the ground
The cops, the mayor, the town
Didn't recognize
The beast before their eyes
They took their aim
A shot, a crash, a bang
Eustace Booth, a turkey on a plate
