• I Once Knew A Man by Ellie



    I once knew a man
    And he was so happy
    So very happy
    This is what he said

    "I once knew a woman
    And she made me happy
    So very happy
    And we were in love"

    Boom ba bang
    Boom ba bang boom (3)
    He went straight down

    This man had found
    His voice and his life
    Made that woman his wife
    On their wedding day

    Hand in hand, they said
    "Till death do us part,
    A new life we will start"
    Things would be okay

    Boom ba bang
    Boom ba bang boom (3)
    He went straight down

    Beautiful she was
    He was so happy
    Full of joy and of glee
    He felt it was fate

    Five months later on
    Her womb carried life
    Such proud and happy times
    Nothing could separate
    (And so you think)

    Boom ba bang
    Boom ba bang boom (3)
    They all went crashing down

    But then that one day came
    While crossing the street
    Flat on the ground, off her feet
    Lights were mistaken
    For green from red

    In the hospital room
    That's where he found her
    Alive but emptier
    So much she has bled

    They return back home
    So sad she became
    She wasn't the same
    Silence filled her throat

    But that man tried his best
    To make her happy
    But she wasn't happy
    Feeling so alone

    Boom ba bang
    Boom ba bang boom (3)
    He went straight down

    Two days later on
    The man found her again
    Lying under the train
    Two lives gone now
    (And so you think)

    He ran straight home
    Looked through his sock drawer
    Pulled out a '44
    And he went straight down

    Boom ba bang
    Boom ba bang boom (3)
    He went straight down

    Boom ba bang
    Boom ba bang boom (3)
    They all went crashing down

    I once knew a man
    He is now happy
    His soul is now happy
    Not exactly as planned

    Roses were dropped
    Down the everlasting
    Hole of his ending
    Where the gray stones stand

    Death did not part
    These two lovers
    For now and forever
    Six feet under, hand in hand

    With their unborn child,
    They all are happy
    More than they ever could be
    Happiest of all the land

    Boom ba bang
    Boom ba bang boom (3)
    They all lay happy now

    Boom ba bang
    Boom ba bang boom (3)
    They all went down

    The end! Thankyou for reading!
