Story Behind The Song
I was sick of suits from "Taxi" contradicting themselves time and time and time again about my lyrics and melodies. It seemed that one would say one thing and another would say the very opposite -- I got to know one and they assured me at times there were no "country/folk" critics there. Any way I wrote this to see what they would say.

Lyrics
1/ Chinese fireworks pollute the sky
Dirty black smoke is on the rise
At times like these we all need alibis
Ships sail planes fly
Everybody dies
2/ The easter bunny comes sliding by
The tooth fairy screams tell me why
So many questions but few reply's
Boots zip shoes tie
Everybody dies
Bridge
Where do they go - I don't know
What do they see - don't ask me
Who will they meet - aint death sweet
3/ Mr Fawkes just a regular Guy
Meets Father Christmas who says I must fly
He thinks if this was real maybe I'd
Hear Paul say hello and John say goodbye
Everybody dies
Bridge
