Welcome to this wonderworld
|
Everybody take your sledges
|
Winterland Plutocracy
|
Down the slope don't fear the hedges
|
|
Everybody in their box
|
Waiting under rights of action
|
Raise your heads and hold your breath
|
I can't stand your putrefaction
|
|
I can smell your brain decay
|
As you look down at the stage and
|
Drive me mad and then insane
|
Welcome to the show
|
|
You've been waiting for the one
|
To bring you joy and ecstasy
|
And you've been waiting for a song
|
And you demand to feel the tragedy
|
|
But when it's right out of control
|
And it's not your song anymore
|
And you are ready to forget
|
The truth that you'd been asking for
|
|
I'm not afraid to sacrifice
|
And I don't care bout your advice
|
As I spread my wings and fly
|
|
No love - it's pain you've come to feed
|
In mental strain I crawl and bleed
|
You make me please
|
|
Forever roaming
|
You will hear it scream
|
The cries of Speedhoven
|
Forever roaming
|
Every starless night
|
You will hear the cries
|
|
You'll never get:
|
I'll never be the one that you want me to be
|
And all the treasures that you hold
|
All your diamond rings and gold
|
All your flake and look and tongue
|
I have tried and it was wrong
|
|
You tried to push me up a notch
|
But all I made was an itchy crotch
|
Fornication, ass galore
|
I wanted love and I want more
|
Muckrakers waiting for the prey
|
Muckrakers want me to obey
|
But you will never own me
|
Though you pay
|
|
This opera is haunted they will say
|
That's where they've driven the light insane
|
|
Forever roaming
|
You will hear it scream
|
The cries of Speedhoven
|
Forever roaming
|
Every starless night
|
You will hear the cries
|
Forever roaming
|
You will hear it scream
|
The cries of Speedhoven
|
Forever you'll hear it scream
|
|
In a cold winter night I had a vision
|
Taking me by my hand
|
Leading me to the door
|
To rescue me from the wastelands
|
|
The glance of the shining ivories
|
A world that they can't understand
|
Out of sound, out of reason
|
The voice of their laughter was gone
|
|
Taken away, time for a change
|
I'm walking over
|
Flying away, flying away
|
Dying into another world
|
Pure and divine
|
And the laughter dies
|
|
Welcome to this wonderworld
|
Everybody take your sledges
|
Winterland Plutocracy
|
Down the slope don't fear the hedges
|
|
Forever roaming
|
You will hear it scream
|
The cries of Speedhoven
|
Forever roaming...
