NoMeansNo

No Big Surprise

NoMeansNo


I hauled my ass to hell and gone  
put the boots to the dawn 
The sky was empty and the stars were bright 
But it snowed like December on a summer night 
All that screaming and all those moans 
Honey, don't it make you cry 
lt wasn't very pretty and it wasn't real nice 
But that was no big surprise 

I saw your heart when I looked in your eyes 
That's where the shadows lie 
Stop your whining you son of a bitch 
I've got the bull by the horns, I've got my hand on the whip 
All you showed me was a clever disguise 
You thought I wasn't wise 
Bot I saw your heart when I looked in your eyes 
And that was no big surprise 

All of your schemes and those well laid plans 
Have come tumbling down 
Nothing will be left of this ruin end death 
You're out of money end you're out of breath 
I'm lighter than air, I'm a cloud of smoke 
You're fucking finished end that's no joke 
With a snap of my fingers, in the blink of an eye 
That was no big surprise 

Can you hear my prayer? 
As it floats on high 
Do you want to know why? 
Like the fish in the deep blue see 
Like an eagle in a clear blue sky 
I've got no time to wonder why 

I've got a gun in my pocket and a knife in my hand 
I'm one hell of a man 
I'm ten feet tall, I've lived a thousand years 
I've got nothing to hope for and nothing to teer 
I carved a path from here to there, end then I 
Vanished into thin air 
I took the big plunge and I won the big prize 
But that was no big surprIse
