Hunchback in the park
Eats his bread from a sunday newspaper.
Drinks his water from a cup
that the children left behind,
the world seems to be blind.
The only friends and company in a lonely life
are birds, a dog and distant cries.
Hunchback in the dark
It's cold outside he's sleeping in a dog-house.
Pickin' lice from his eyes as he feels the break of day
the mud turns softly grey.
A picture of a woman's body in his mind repeats,
satisfies his physical needs.

Hey, Mr.Hunchback
do you fear to face the end
do you know what death's like.
No, I've got time to pray,
the queue is long on the Judgement Day,
I don't care what preachers say.
But if you ask me what i think of days that have been:
Man is evil, that's what I've seen.
(Epilogue):
I never spoke with God,
Nor visited in Heaven.
But when i die, and when i leave this world of horror,
my coffin's gonna be bigger
so i'll cause more trouble to the digger.
And on the top of my grave a heap so high,
I'll be one step ahead towards the sky.
