Puffer’s Confession Rupert Holmes (Ft. Chita Rivera)

May god have mercy, your forgiveness do I need

My string of sins ends here with this most dreadful deed

I only meant to save my Rosa Bud, it's true

You bastard Jasper, christ! I meant to murder you!

Could I see my rosebud threatened

By this man of massive sin?

He'd revealed his vile desires

So I had to do him in!

To my endless ruination

I took smoke to see me through

In my sweet hallucination

I saw Drood, and thought him you!

So I say, to all who'll hear me--

You must plan a murder well

You must view your victim clearly

As you send him off to hell!

When I killed, 'twas well intended

Drink and smoke, what did me in

For my chores, I'm apprehended!

Them's the wages of sin!

Everyone now!
