Texasaurus 02:48
Man the ropes and pull some strings It must feel great behind the wheel of this wicked thing Now, not much to our surprise You’ve gone and fucked it up and left us all behind Is that all you have to say? Just look at the mess you made. Don’t you think, my friend, that we’re in just too deep again Don’t lightly take my words, I’ve got way too much to say What did you get? Tell me what did you get? Just what did you get? Just what did you get from this crown you wear? Just what did you get? Just what did you get from this crown you wear?

Little Tyger 02:54
Little tyger, you’re hot to touch Prowling around way too much. After seeing everything that you do I wonder, who but the devil could have ever made you? In what heaven or what hell Did they craft your eyes so well? Which angel thought it would do To put eyes like that in a woman like you? And what shoulders could bear the weight Of the brush that it would take To paint the wicked strands of your heart And when you came out screaming Was your father there a demon? Did he wish that he could tear you apart? Did Haephaestus take his time As he was hammering out your mind? Do you think that he’d stop for a spell To see the thing that he made out making such hell? And when the spears come calling And the tears come falling Do you think the lord will know peace? Did he gladly paint your stripes And make you a man-eater by night? Does he know that you’re wearing his fleece? Little tyger, you’re hot to touch Prowling around way too much. After seeing everything that you do I wonder, who but the devil could have ever made you?

I have never seen a place Like the one in mind And I had never dreamt a dream Like I did last night And this place is none like you’ve seen Not in the wilds of your dreams This place is none like you’ve seen. This place This place There was a sea Inside the ring of stone When I saw the banners fly I knew they were my own And when that whistle blew That was when I knew We scale these peaks that we have never seen We climb these cliffs until our fingers bleed We reach the top in hopes of finding more And right below is what we’re searching for I had no idea Where we were going But I always knew we’d make it here Can’t you hear I’m coming home? Sound the trumpets, I’m coming home! Didn’t you hear me? I’m coming home! Open the gates, I’m coming home!

Can you smell the rain Coming down the river? Can you feel the thunder As it rolls? Can you feel the wind Whip across your face, brother? Can you see the skies? They’re getting dark. It is coming for you.. She is coming for you. That is why the sky turns black That is why the sky turns black And it’s never ever gonna go back And it’s never ever gonna go back It’s one foot at a time The last step is goodbye The storm will clean you off Don’t give it any thought.

Isn’t it funny how someone can just put a costume on, make you walk the plank, watch you say so long. Isn’t that funny? Isn’t it funny how someone can just throw a nightgown on, slam a hammer on a table and *poof* you’re gone? Isn’t that funny? Need I remind you we have made up everything you’ve seen. Need I remind you the man on your left doesn’t say what he means. Need I remind you we have made up everything you’ve seen. Need I remind you we made it all up. Isn’t it crazy how someone made up some magic lines, walk across them you’re lost in time? Isn’t that crazy? Isn’t it crazy at the flip of a switch it all could blow and who we were no one would know? Isn’t that crazy? Need I remind you we have made up everything you’ve seen. Need I remind you the man on your left doesn’t say what he means. Need I remind you we have made up everything you’ve seen. Need I remind you we made it all up? We were so important! Oh so important! Please just give us one more chance. We were so important! Oh so important! Please just give us one more chance. What do you mean there is no second chance? What do you mean there is no second chance? I see. We ruled the world to death. We ruled it to death. I see. We ruled the world to death. We ruled it to death. Isn’t it hilarious, what’s become of all of us? Isn’t it hilarious? Isn’t it hilarious, what’s become of all of us? Isn’t it hilarious?

There you go again circling over my head Why don’t you come down here instead? You can fly, you can squeak, you can just swim away Or we could just talk, but I am right in your way There you go again banking back and coming around There was nothing more troublesome than your sound You can spy, you can sneak, you can just run away Or we could just talk, but I am still in your way Watch out, now! Here they come! They’re flying in formation. Don’t let them make you think you’ve got the gun. Here you come again looking in on what I do. I don’t know how to explain, it’s not me, it’s you. You can lie, you can cheat, you can just run away But we can’t talk ‘cause I am right in your face Watch out, now! Here they come! They’re bringing armageddon! Don’t let them make you think you’ve got the gun When will I ever see you again? It has been quite the score. I think you now you can hear me. Now you hear me no more.

At first, all that I looked for Were the shiny things that I thought I had wanted But these are just signs of the glory that waits for the dead They’re the first, not the best. Pour Some more Oil into my eyes Until all I see is light And let it shine I will gladly go blind What makes you think You can see what you see Go ahead: enlighten me. I promise, these are just pretty lights They aren’t anything like what you have wanted These are just signs, of the glory that waits up ahead They’re the first, I found the best. What is the best? It is what you say it is. What is the best? It is what you say it is. What is the best? It is what it is.

How many kings were crowned, And how many knights have been knighted? How many queens lost their daughters? And how many nations united? How many dragons were slain, and how many died in made up wars? It’s all just make believe that they were fighting for. Can you say the same of the games you play? Can you say the same of the games you play? I’ll tell you something I have never seen before: A grown man who can hold aloft a wooden sword. Hold them high now! Hold them high! Hold them high now! Hold them high! I will tell you one more more time: You have everything to fear Don’t go bringing your business Way out here This is your very last chance Go on, now, why don’t you get gone? Don’t you see that the kings have their crowns on? Don’t you see Don’t you see that the kings have their crowns upon their heads? Don’t you see Don’t you see that the kings have their crowns upon their heads?

I don’t mind the wind half as much Now that all my sails are gone ‘Cause I don’t have a goddamn thing to worry about Other than the flotsam that I’m on I don’t have to fight the seas half as hard Without my rudder right behind ‘Cause I don’t have to steer and I don’t have to drive. And don’t even really mind I remember each explosion I remember every blast Because I stood there and watched it I watched all of it collapse. If you burn all your ships you can join me If you let the water swallow them whole All you have to do is nothing And off you would go. You must hit the bottom Before you can come back again You must hit the bottom Before you can die

En Passant 04:26
Make sure you walk on by Before you pull that knife And jam it in my back, old friend Don’t look me in the eye While you watch me die I thought you brought me to my end But you didn’t And I am back on my feet So good riddance I don’t need you to speak. You seem so sure That you won’t taste dirt I hope you do not meet your end Will you follow her To the ends of the earth? She’ll stab you in the back, my friend. Yeah, so she hasn’t. Just give it a little bit. It’ll happen We’re all waiting for it. How does it taste to you? How does the poison taste to you? Is it sweet like mother’s milk? Does it taste like a honey wine? One more sip and you’ll be feeling fine.
