A Strange Thing to Say

Lyrics

I know it must seem to you like the strangest thing to say
 but in the winter of his presence I've always felt warm and safe.
 I always knew no skirt no suit would ever bother me
 as long as he is present, as long as this man stayed close to me.
 I do like his company, I enjoy it, in fact
 he's the only human friend that I ever had
 which is quite ironic, 'cause he's mostly occupied
 by the methods that exist to blow out people's lights ...
 ♪
 I wouldn't be surprised at all
 if someday I found out
 that he had thoroughly checked on my life
 and on my background
 and confidently reconfirmed
 by the things he didn't find
 he then granted me access to a small part
 of his secret life ...
 I know it must seem to you
 like the strangest thing to say
 but in the winter of his presence
 I've always felt warm and safe ...
 ♪
 I never had to worry though, it can't give me the chills
 because, you see, men are the only species that he kills.
 Oh, that's why I love his company, quite enjoy it, in fact
 he is the only human friend that I ever had.
 ♪
 I rarely ponder on him
 in the wayward hours of the day
 but am surprised at my own delight
 I find in seeing him again.
 White shirt, black tie, exquisite twine
 I'm brewing tea, he's having wine.
 It's quite seductive, if it's right
 the perfect way to spend the night ...
 I do like his company, I enjoy it, in fact
 he's the only human friend that I ever had
 which is quite ironic, 'cause he's mostly occupied
 by the methods that exist to blow out people's lights ...
 I never had to worry though, it can't give me the chills
 because, you see, men are the only species that he kills.
 Oh, that's why I love his company, quite enjoy it, in fact
 he is the only human friend that I ever had.
 Each act performed is like a ballet, a prayer, precise and acute.
 Oh, how I do admire such perfect business-like attitude
 both in style and execution, virtuously immaculate ...-
 and flawlessly equated to the savage fee that he has set.
 Built just like the idea of an athlete, my champion of sorts.
 His price is one that only broken hearts are willing to afford.
 Death is always quite disastrous, messy, common and obscene
 but in the golden hour when he leaves all is stainless, all is clean ...
 I do like his company, I enjoy it, in fact
 he's the only human friend that I ever had
 which is quite ironic, 'cause he's mostly occupied
 by the methods that exist to blow out people's lights ...
 I never had to worry though, it can't give me the chills
 because, you see, men are the only species that he kills.
 Oh, that's why I love his company, quite enjoy it, in fact
 he is the only human friend that I ever had.
 ♪
 If I, one day, might also decide to need
 this special kind of service that this man provides
 oh, I will pray that my fate kindly agrees to the plot
 and sends someone like this man to come and finish the job.
 Because I just cannot bear the foul and blasphemous thought
 that involves getting slain by some filthy amateur's hands.
 ♪
 I know it must seem to you like the strangest thing to say
 but in the coldness of his presence I ve always felt warm and safe.
 ♪
 I know that you must surely think me mad
 but he's the most human friend that I ever had ...
