Killing Floor Lyrics


Across the hills they come

Bags full of samples of floor

It's impossible to run

As they hold you at your door

(You decline)

His sales advances

(He says fine)

But he continues talking

And so you're offered a whole floor free

But the offer is too good to believe

Perhaps you might like his carpet solutions

The man supplies global floor revolution

(Doormat instead)

You've got five

(Comes in red)

You need no more

(You decline)

His sales advances

(He says fine)

But he continues talking

(Then insists)

It's getting annoying

(Grabs your wrists)

Is he allowed to do that

(And persists)

Please let me explain myself

I want to sell you carpets

I thought that's what you wanted

I offer quality carpets

At the lowest rate around

Don't throw away my carpets

I need to feed my children

And they are sick of carpets

They eat them everyday

Would you prefer a shag rug?

There is no giving up

He is a marketing thug

But he's drinking from the death cup

(Leave the door)

Go to the kitchen

(Bitter, sore)

Different mindset

Had enough of this man's stupid games

And the inner beast is no longer contained

Hide the meat-cutter behind your back

And grab the biggest bin-liner or sack

(Oh you're back)

Welcoming smile

(What is that?)

Produce it now

(Spare my life)

Press it against him

(Think of my wife)

He doesn't have one

(Ouch that hurts)

Turn it on

(Blood does spurt)

Finish the job

(On your shirt)

And so the deed is done

I want to sell you carpets

I thought that's what you wanted

I offer quality carpets

At the lowest rate around

Don't throw away my carpets

I need to feed my children

And they are sick of carpets

They eat them everyday

What's this a knock at the door?

Another thinks he has what it takes

A salesman with a book of floors

Go and fetch the sharpened stake

By August twenty have gone

No longer a carpet craze

But what you have not yet won

Sellers rise up from their graves

And I want to sell you carpets

I thought that's what you wanted

I offer quality carpets

At the lowest rate around

Don't throw away my carpets

I need to feed my children

And they are sick of carpets

They eat them everyday
