Cover art for Statler lyrics by Armchair Martian

The lyrics aren't anywhere on the net, and I really can't tell if he says news or noose in that one part. But if he says news I think it's a guy saying good bye to the person he loves before he hangs. If you read the lyrics it all makes sense with that theory too. But I could just be wrong and he is saying "news".
