The Butcher Lyrics - Gingerbread Man - Residents

Run, run, fast as you can you can 

You can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man 

Run, run, fast as you can you can 

You can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man 

Buddy didn't say I'm sorry 

Buddy didn't ask to be excused 

Buddy didn't beg your pardon 

When he steps on you 

He leaves too much fat on these t-bones 

Jerk 

I know he's gonna leave without cleaning up again 

He knows I'll do it 

Damn this knife is dull 

I know I just sharpened it yesterday 

I know he used it 

He knows it's my favorite knife 

It's not supposed to be this way 

Everyone says that if you come back 

It's better than it was before 

But, but it's no different 

And what about the light? - what about the blue light? 

There's supposed to be a beautiful blue light 

But all I saw was eels 

Eels squirming everywhere 

And life doesn't have any more meaning 

only Buddy 

It should have been him 

And he should, should have stayed there with the eels 

And, and, and all I can think about are his hands 

His hands and how they look graceful and strong and, and, and sensitive 

As they slice a section of rump roast 

Or, or split the hindquarters of a lamb 

And all I can think about are those same hands 

How they must caress the face of his wife 

And tie the shoe laces of his children 

And, and 

I can't stop 

I can't stop
