the holy gasp – archie & his gang in: the day of atonement كلمات اغاني
[verse i]
i wanted a turtle real bad
i asked my old man
he said a man must go wanting
the value of a dollar is the truth
can you earn it
come to shul on yom kippur
sit down stand up in scratchy clothes
and read from a book filled with words you don’t know
and remember treblinka
remember
you’re worse than hitler, dig it?
when the shofar blows, god knows, if he’s listening
you can have a turtle
tekiah!
[verse ii]
three turtles for twelve dollars down at big al’s aquarium services
i named ‘em after the characters in an archie comics magazine
i put ‘em in a tank on top of my dresser
i too am a turtle on top of my dresser
i suffеr and move
i bask in the heat
i swim to thе top for a raw piece of meat
and i sink when i’m sick
the feeder is god—oh i hunger and long
and my turtle stopped breathing
and the shofar is blowing
i fear for you, betty
i dream of you, hitler
i sent my old man to the showers, i’m sorry
shefarim!
[verse iii]
it’s 3am on a thursday night
i’m 15 on a thursday night
i’m on mushrooms on a thursday night
and the whole world is a turtle tank
i go to my room
i turn on the light
look over at archie it gives me a fright
oh d_mn daddy yuck!
archie is dead
his eyes rolled back in his head
cold
daddy d_mn!
death is a bust
i remember treblinka
i weep for you, betty
i bag up my turtle (heil hitler!)
i’m sorry
i’m dragging the shovel (heil hitler!)
i’m coming
i dig for you, archie
i dig for you, tatte (heil hitler!)
i’m sorry (heil hitler!)
i’m sorry
entschuldig mir, tatte, i’m sorry, i’m sorry
teruah!
[verse iv]
in ’99 my daddy ain’t fine
in 2010 man it happens again
the monitor’s beeping
my mother is weeping
i dream of you archie, your spoon, and your bread
i’m digging a hole, veronica’s dead
a capo’s on guard at the foot of the bed archie
i see your striped pyjamas betty
i see your sunken eyes
the snow is crunching under my clogs
i’m digging a hole for veronica lodge
i’m torching the earth to soften the soil
tekiah gadola!
[outro]
i’m sorry
i’m sorry
i’m sorry
i’m sorry
i’m sorry
i’m sorry
i’m sorry
i’m sorry
i’m sorry
i’m sorry
