When the French maids cigarette turns
|
burns like a boiling tapeworm
|
(That was really something baby,
|
that was really something baby)
|
When the chandeliers shatter,
|
your guest's gowns turn to tatters, the portraits just chatter
|
(That was really something baby,
|
that was really something baby)
|
Can you feel your sweat beading porcelain?
|
Your skeleton outgrowing it's skin?
|
It's the pinball masquerade....
|
(That was really something baby)
|
|
Oh Oh Oh! I saw the curtains of hair!
|
Oh Oh Oh! I saw my fingers tear!
|
They said "We are the six nightmares (Oh yeah.)
|
We are the six nightmares (Oh yeah.)
|
We are the six nightmares (Oh yeah.)
|
Oh Oh Oh, I saw the face of a girl
|
oh oh oh, strapped to a poison pear
|
oh oh oh, she said:
|
"We are the six nightmares (Oh yeah.)
|
We are the six nightmares (Oh yeah.)
|
We are the six nightmares (Oh yeah.)"
|
|
I saw a millionaire eat his shadow,
|
I saw a water clock beat a widow;
|
they said, "If one man's life is the sum of something
|
I want to see your fears materializing!"
|
"We are the six nightmares (Oh yeah!)
|
We are the six nightmares (Oh yeah!)
|
We are the six nightmares (Oh yeah!)"
|
Where are the six nightmares
|
where are the six nightmares
|
where are the six nightmares
|
where are the six nightmares
|
at this costume bash?!
|
Open your throat look in the raw gash!
|
|
You held each other by well-groomed hands,
|
mumbling prayers to a neglected Jesus.
|
The Maitre-Des quiver as they watch you shiver as the mask
|
and the mouth knit into each other.
|
Our laughter was deafening but our lips,
|
but our lips, but our lips were trembling.
|
Our laughter was deafening but our lips,
|
but our lips, but our lips were trembling
|
Now the lady with the peacock mask,
|
is writhing around in broken monocle glass,
|
imprisoned like a beetle laying on it's back,
|
and the man striped up and clawed Calico like a cat,
|
is trapped forever looking like that.
|
|
"All your luxury, all your well hidden trash,
|
all your empty wine bottles disguised as class,
|
all the bastard children you pay off,
|
all the money it takes for you to get off...
|
May I have this dance?"
|
The dark dealer takes your hands.
|
"All your memories all your forgotten plans/one night stands;
|
We are the six nightmares at the masquerade!
|
We are the six nightmares at the masquerade!
|
They are the six nightmares at the masquerade!
|
We are the six nightmares at the masquerade!
|
We are the six nightmares at the masquerade!"
|
|
Oh Oh Oh! I saw the mirrors cringe!
|
Oh Oh Oh! The choir voices bend!
|
Oh Oh Oh! The costume in my skin! Oh Oh Oh!
|
It said, "We are the six nightmares (Oh yeah!)
|
We are the six nightmares (Oh yeah!)
|
We are the six nightmares.
|
WE ARE THE SIX NIGHTMARES!"
|
|
"All your luxury, all your well hidden trash,
|
all your empty wine bottles disguised as class,
|
May I have this dance?"
|
The dark dealer takes your hands.
|
"All your memories all your forgotten plans/one night stands;
|
We are the six nightmares at the masquerade!
|
We are the six nightmares at the masquerade!"
