Goodbye Mr Quin - Momus

And there will come a time

When the will have been time

For the will to define Mr Quin

In the meantime let’s not

Worry whether the plot

Turns out well, turns out ill

Mr Quin

For today you’re alive

And feel you’ll never die

It may never arrive

Mr Quin

Until then everything

Is so strange, Mr Quin

Live each day, live each love

As it comes

Bright day, endless night

And the cry of the owl

Secret hollow, an expensive place to die

So goodbye Mr Quin

We are strangers on a train

And the mirror is now cracked

From side to side

And there will come a time

When the world in your mind

Will have known in its bones

Mr Quin

Until then everything

Could be pork, could be string

Live each day, love each love

As it comes

In the main everything

Is so strange, Mr Quin

Live each day, love each love

As she comes

Double clue, wooden words

Endless night, passing birds

Paperchase, king of clubs

Rush to die

Bright day, endless night

And the cry of the owl

Twinkle twinkle

You are sinking, little spy

Double clue, wooden words

Endless night, passing birds

Paperchase, king of clubs

Mr Quin

The Italian nobleman, polonium 210

Twinkle twinkle, Mickey Mouse

Mr Quin

Bright day, endless night

And the cry of the owl

Secret hollow, an expensive place to die

But goodbye Mr Quin

We are strangers on a train

And the mirror starts to crack

From side to side

Bright day, endless night

And the cry of the owl
