On the day that Daniel Cowman stopped existing 
The world should've ended right then and there 
At precisely four-fifteen when he stopped existing 
The world should've ended--how could it go on? 
How could it go on when I don't exist? I don't exist... 

and now that we got that straight, doesn't mean that I can fly 
Doesn't mean that I can go do whatever I want 
Now that we got that clear, and you know that I'm not here 
Doesn't mean that I can go do whatever I please 

the premature ejaculation of his death sentence 
Hit Daniel in the face like a big round spitball 
And everything got hazy in the courtroom 
And then he stood up and then he sat back down 
Another two times in a row 
And everything got real slow like a gunshot in the movies 
And he remembered heroin boy walking through the door 
Bouncing off the walls and the floor 
Taking off his belt, taking off his pants 
Filling up the bathtub, getting ready to go in for a swim 
Singing, I don't exist... 

and he start remembering... 
The heroin boy'd walk through the door 
And he was screaming and everybody was, like, 
What're you screaming as if it's the end of the world? 
And he was, like, well it is 
And I was sitting in the corner with my pants down 
And I was sure someone next door was blowing up balloons 
And they was red and orange 
And there was this one lady at the bar and she was trying to buy gin 
And this other lady at the bar and she was trying to sell gin 
And it worked out good for the boths of them 
And heroin boy started taking off his belt 
Started taking off his pants, started taking off his shoes 
Filling up the bathtub, getting ready to go in for a swim 
I says, no--you're gonna drown 
And he says, no--I can't drown 
Simply because...shhhh... 
A man destined to hang can never drown 
A man destined to drown can never burn 
A man destined to fry can never, ever, ever 
Die in any other way 
Frying--lucky that I'm dying by hanging and not drowning 

so now that we got that straight, can't I just be left alone? 
I want to take a fucking bath
