Performance by Sting]

FZ: Alright... Now, this afternoon on my way down the elevator we stopped at the lobby, and I was introduced to a man named Sting who I'd never met before. And, he's a very nice man, and he came to the show tonight and I just talked to him in the dressing room a little while ago and I said: "How would you, Mr. Sting, like to come up on stage and perform with us?" Now...
|
Sting: How's [...]. It's not in my nature to kick a man when he's down. When I saw the first part of the show I realised I had to come up here and tell you something. Well, four years ago Jimmy Swaggart said this about me: He said this here song by The Police, "Murder By Numbers," was written by SATAN! Performed by the sons of SATAN! BEELZEBUB! LUCIFER! THE HORNED ONE! I wrote the fuckin' song, alright?

Once that you've decided on a killing
|
First you make a stone of your heart
|
If you find that your hands are still willing
|
Then you can turn a murder into art
|
There really isn't any need for bloodshed
|
You just do it with a little more finesse
|
|
If you can slip a tablet into someone's coffee
|
Then it avoids an awful lot of mess because
|
It's murder by numbers one two three
|
It's as easy to learn as your ABC
|
Murder by numbers one two three
|
It's as easy to learn as your ABC
|
|
Now if you have a taste for this experience
|
And you're flushed with your very first success
|
Then you must try a twosome or a threesome
|
And you'll find your conscience bothers you much less
|
Because a murder is like anything you take to
|
It's a habit-forming need for more and more
|
|
You can bump off every member of your family
|
And anybody else you find a bore
|
Because it's murder by numbers one two three
|
It's as easy to learn as your ABC
|
Murder by numbers one two three
|
It's as easy to learn as your ABC
|
I said murder by numbers one two three
|
It's as easy to learn as your ABC
|
Murder by numbers one two three
|
It's as easy to learn as your ABC
|
Murder by numbers A B C D E
|
|
FZ: Mr. Sting! Ladies and gentlemen... Mr. Sting!
|
Ike: Sting!
|
FZ: Thank you! "Murder By Numbers"... And then, suddenly...
