i innocently walk into a resaurant i innocently walk up to the tills innocently ordering a burger i innocently hand over some bills innocently eating, i innocently chew but something in this cheeseburger's decidedly askew and hold on just a moment - what is that funny taste and why is it exactly that my ketchup's been replaced and now i know why you were shify, i know why you avoid my eye when i order a cheeseburger i don't expect to die ---- CHORUS but dying is the thing that's on the menu and i swear i never knew and in my dying moments there is little i can do but i'll be damned if i give up you will pay for what you've done but i don't have a lot of time - the symptoms have begun ---- as i sit here the world begins to fade there is nobody coming to my aid and as my final moment's drawing near i look into your eyes and show no fear and as your final moment's nearly here you look into my eyes and shed a tear ---- CHORUS dying is the thing that's on the menu and you swear you never knew but in my dying moments there is plenty i can do and i will never give it up until you've paid for what you've done i'll find you in my final moments you can't hide and you can't run ----

this is too hard half an hour gone so far still i can't unroll this roll looking closeley i still can't find it i wonder if i ever will i don't think i posses the needed skill (help me someone) so i approach my problem with my mind i see i have been blind i should have folded the edge back in when i had the chance (there should be a simple way) but even though i pick and pick and pick and pick the end refuses to unstick and i am left believing that this roll doesn't have an end at all (it's too late; i meet my fate) the tape has now become me the only thing i know this mission that began an indeterminate time ago (i've not slept in fifteen days) but even though i pick and pick and pick and pick the end refuses to unstick and i am left believing that this roll doesn't have an end at all (it's too late; i meet my fate)
