[00:09.00]I knew a woman once
[00:11.31]Giving birth to kittens and mice
[00:15.51]And as you know with their eating habits
[00:19.23]Those poor mice had to die
[00:23.01]So the kittens were born
[00:27.42]Full of their brothers and sisters
[00:31.23]And they were punished swiftly
[00:34.17]Though they didn't know why
[00:35.67]They thought they were food
[00:43.14]They did not know what they'd done
[00:48.93]And I was a person once
[00:52.95]Sending off unread letters
[00:56.64]Receiving no reply
[00:59.82]Never bothering asking why
[01:04.86]I had a heart once
[01:08.64]Full of fire and passion
[01:12.06]But the summer took it away from me
[01:20.31]And autumn has come to retrieve it
[01:30.27]And I was a man once
[01:34.05]When I was six-years-old
[01:38.07]But now I am just a boy
[01:41.85]Pretentious and brash and bold
[01:45.96]The kittens were murdered
[01:50.13]Thrown into burlap sacks
[01:53.94]And weighted down with rocks
[01:57.18]In a river deep and black
[02:03.27]And they went to Heaven
[02:07.47]They went to Heaven
