They Saw The Fat One Coming Lyrics - Singles - Strawberry Alarm Clock

They said they saw him in the morning 

But they just couldn't understand why he was crying 

He came upon them without warning 

And told them of the things he left behind him dying 

Why did he come to our fair city? 

Why did he say the things that only make us worried? 

He said it killed but showed no pity 

It came upon him like the devil's raging fury 

Why did it spare him? Why's he here? 

Who's this stranger that walks among us? 

And why's he here? Why did he live? 

Maybe a deal's been made between them 

Ooh ooh ooh 

We gathered at the church on Sunday 

And turned the house of God into a place of violence 

With guns and clubs we met on Monday 

And swore before the day was done there would be silence
