Surprise
Lenin Was A Zombie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

i wanted to make a surprise
I didn't give you a call
i bought so many flowers
i could hardly carry'em all
i stepped to your floor
i was wearing my best suit
somebody opened the door
but it wasn't you


who's that man?
naked man?
in your room?
why are you naked too?

who's that man?
naked man?
in your room?
why are you naked too?


he was not your brother
he was not your uncle
he was not your father
what was going on there?
and he shut the door
right in front of my eyes
and i realized
what a fucking surprise


who's that man?
naked man?
in your room?
why are you naked too?

who's that man?
naked man?
in your room?
why are you naked too?


plumber
electrician
pizza boy
politician
no matter who the guy was
you are a whore, there is no choice

gardener
milkman
driver
satan




no matter who the guy was
you are a whore, there is no choice
