unknown but why
What do the Gods have planned for me? knowing that they can not seem to keep me down I still have work to do here my job is yet not done I was just starting to have some real fun. why do they always seem to keep calling me back to the ghettos of their heavens, whose right-hand man I am if I am not my own?
What emotions do they care for me to have this time, I keep doing their bidding and I learned to dance their dance of skeletons and what other dances they had me dance.
Unknown but why I thought the Gods and The Grim Reaper were professionals come on boys tell me what needs to be done for I could not get my secret decoder ring out of the box because it was to far lost in the sugar-coated cereal that my mother refused to buy me as a kid and as an adult can no longer afford
