Lyrics

wish i wasn't so superstitious
wish i wasn't so tall
i'm afraid of my shadow, baby
watch it creep up the wall

in the firmamental twinkle
of your wandering eye
seen the fire and brimstone
tumbling out of the sky

for whatever it's worth
it's hell on this earth

if i wasn't so sentimental
i'd be late for the ball
if it wasn't for cinderella
i wouldn't be here at all

in the fundamental wrinkle
in the fabric of time
she seen her name on a tombstone
at the scene of a crime

and whatever the dearth
it was hell on this earth

never one to be too capricious
never one to be tall
i'm the one with the shadow baby
watch it tear up the walls

as we swayed on to the jingle
of a doddering lie
it took him down like a millstone
tumbling out of the sky

but whatever it's worth
it's hell on this earth
