The Lyrics
His partner fell; the dude’s
Now scared of heights.
He was a cop, but now he’s screwed
And not tryin’
To do much, bidin’
His time till he lands a
Job followin’ ’round
A babe named Madeleine.
But she ascends a tower, falls down.
At her death knell the dude
Is far from fine—
Not fine.
Then a new
Girl’s in view;
He says, “You
Will please do for me now
This—that is, wear
Wardrobe picked my me.
She too falls down—
It’s eerie!
Now it’s that Elster dude
Who will do time.
Now scared of heights.
He was a cop, but now he’s screwed
And not tryin’
To do much, bidin’
His time till he lands a
Job followin’ ’round
A babe named Madeleine.
But she ascends a tower, falls down.
At her death knell the dude
Is far from fine—
Not fine.
Then a new
Girl’s in view;
He says, “You
Will please do for me now
This—that is, wear
Wardrobe picked my me.
She too falls down—
It’s eerie!
Now it’s that Elster dude
Who will do time.

JAB - Spoiler alert. I know what you're referencing. Clever work here as usual. ;D
The reference to the 'zoom and pull out' camera shot down the tower shaft is one of the classic in-camera effects of cinema. Nice read.
The Parodyomical Cinematography is magnificent!
