lyrics

I looked out my window.
I found it raining, raining so hard.
I looked out, out my window.
And I thought, "This is, yes, a beautiful day to die."

What will I kill? Will I die?
Who or what might be dying inside?
It's a beautiful day, a beautiful day,
a beautiful day to die.

What do you do when you want to change?
What do you rearrange?
It's a beautiful day, a beautiful day
to kill that part of you that you dislike.
It's a beautiful day to die.

How do you go about killing things?
Do you first extract them from your head?
Or do you go deep inside your head
to bring them a good day to die?

I like to do a couple of things
when I want to kill some things.
I like to do, yes, many things
when it's a good day to die.

Some of the things they are real simple,
like gather your things, all around.
Know what to cut, and know what to keep,
and keep those shears so sharp.

You need to cut out the bits of you
that serve you no, no more.
Just cut them out and let them die,
and parts of you will die, die, die!

It's a good day to die, a good day to be reborn.
A good day to be, once again, transformed.
A beautiful day, a beautiful day
to die and to live.

So on this day, I will kill something.
On this day, something will kill me.
On this day, my shears will shear away
something gory bright.

A beautiful day to die.
A beautiful day to die.

Mr. Beany's Bitty Band

We're a one-person band fronted by a human who self-describes as a mad artist. We invented the "crapcapella" genre, and remain a proponent, though we now support the term "folk acapella" as well. We love improvised music as well as sheet music.
