Lyrics
You are waiting
Outside your office
Across the street
A man stands alone
In front of his head
A cardboard placard
With a smiley face
Scrawled on it in black pen
Do you: A) call 911
B) punch the face
C) smile back
Squad cars arrive
With sirens wailing
A SWAT team takes position
And a non-uniformed officer
With a loud-hailer
Walks up next to you
Do you: A) back away
B) tell them the man with the smiley
Face is not a threat
C) check your pocket
In your pocket is a revolver
A cigarette lighter
And a mask
Do you: A) take out the revolver
B) Light a cigarette
C) Put on the mask
There is a small explosion
The officers fall to the ground
Coughing
You breathe through the mask
It seems to be some kind of poison
Gas
The police are all dead now
The man with the smiley face
Is still standing there
He starts to walk toward you
Do you: A) Say hello
B) Run away
C) Shoot him
The bullet goes through his body
But there is no blood
The man keeps walking forward
A car pulls up
A woman in a mask
Opens the right side door
And shouts, 'get in!'
Do you: A) get in
B) Shoot the man with the smiley
Face again
C) Shoot the woman
The woman puts her foot on the gas
And you tail it outa there
She turns to you and says
'It started. We gotta get out the
City'
She goes through a red light and
Hangs a left
Up ahead the road is blocked
By a giant sheet of cardboard
A smiley face is scrawled on it
As if by a twenty foot magic
Marker
You screech to a halt
Do you: A) Stay in the car
B) Get out the car and run to a side
Street
C) Shoot the giant smiley face
From inside the car
You watch the giant smile open
Into a giant black mouth
You don't know how
But the car is pulled inside
You no longer experience gravity
Do you: A) Try to get out the car
B) Do nothing
C) Shoot yourself
You are waiting
Outside your office
Across the street
A man stands alone
In front of his head
A cardboard placard
With a smiley face
Scrawled on it in black pen
