[01:49.45] I know it must seem to you like the strangest thing to say,
[01:54.33] But in the winter of his presence I've always felt warm and safe.
[01:58.51] I always knew no skirt no suit would ever bother me,
[02:06.76] As long as he is present, as long as this man stayed close to me.
[02:14.60] I do like his company, I enjoy it, in fact,
[02:19.92] He's the only human friend that I ever had,
[02:26.50] Which is quite ironic, 'cause he's mostly occupied
[02:31.57] By the methods that exist to blow out people's lights...
[02:50.64] I wouldn't be surprised at all,
[02:53.35] If someday I found out
[02:55.82] That he had thoroughly checked on my life
[03:00.10] And on my background,
[03:02.71] And confidently reconfirmed
[03:05.62] By the things he didn't find,
[03:08.22] He then granted me access to a small part
[03:12.21] Of his secret life...
[03:16.00] I know it must seem to you
[03:18.24] Like the strangest thing to say,
[03:20.51] But in the winter of his presence
[03:24.22] I've always felt warm and safe...
[03:39.67] I never had to worry though, it can't give me the chills,
[03:45.74] Because, you see, men are the only species that he kills.
[03:51.94] Oh, that's why I love his company, quite enjoy it, in fact,
[03:57.96] He is the only human friend that I ever had.
[04:20.49] I rarely ponder on him
[04:23.28] In the wayward hours of the day,
[04:25.87] But am surprised at my own delight
[04:28.96] I find in seeing him again.
[04:31.84] White shirt, black tie, exquisite twine,
[04:35.15] I'm brewing tea, he's having wine.
[04:38.13] It's quite seductive, if it's right,
[04:41.12] The perfect way to spend the night...
[04:44.41] I do like his company, I enjoy it, in fact,
[04:47.41] He's the only human friend that I ever had,
[04:50.55] Which is quite ironic, 'cause he's mostly occupied
[04:53.58] By the methods that exist to blow out people's lights...
[04:56.67] I never had to worry though, it can't give me the chills,
[04:59.77] Because, you see, men are the only species that he kills.
[05:02.77] Oh, that's why I love his company, quite enjoy it, in fact,
[05:05.79] He is the only human friend that I ever had.
[05:12.15] Each act performed is like a ballet, a prayer, precise and acute.
[05:17.93] Oh, how I do admire such perfect business-like attitude,
[05:24.34] Both in style and execution, virtuously immaculate... -
[05:30.18] And flawlessly equated to the savage fee that he has set.
[05:37.30] Built just like the ideal of an athlete, my champion of sorts.
[05:42.41] His price is one that only broken hearts are willing to afford.
[05:49.29] Death is always quite disastrous, messy, common and obscene,
[05:54.86] But in the golden hour when he leaves all is stainless, all is clean...
[06:04.36] I do like his company, I enjoy it, in fact,
[06:07.46] He's the only human friend that I ever had,
[06:10.52] Which is quite ironic, 'cause he's mostly occupied
[06:13.56] By the methods that exist to blow out people's lights...
[06:16.71] I never had to worry though, it can't give me the chills,
[06:19.82] Because, you see, men are the only species that he kills.
[06:22.83] Oh, that's why I love his company, quite enjoy it, in fact,
[06:25.80] He is the only human friend that I ever had.
[07:22.40] If I, one day, might also decide to need
[07:27.49] This special kind of service that this man provides,
[07:32.67] Oh, I will pray that my fate kindly agrees to the plot,
[07:38.75] And sends someone like this man to come and finish the job.
[07:45.19] Because I just cannot bear the foul and blasphemous thought
[07:51.15] That involves getting slain by some filthy amateur's hands.
[08:11.53] I know it must seem to you like the strangest thing to say,
[08:23.43] But in the coldness of his presence I always felt must warm and safe.
[09:24.70] I know that you must surely think me mad,
[09:29.91] But he's the most human friend that I ever had...
