lyrics

On this home of stage,
Behind white curtain I wait,
Under these clothes,
Under skin and skull and brain,
Inside the cell,
Family genes,
The strings.

I was just a boy
When Father Joseph employed,
The pay was good, oh,
Benefits alright,
In exchange:
Human sacrifice.

If your heart is good,
If your nose ain’t wood,
If you give your vegetables moonlight,
Heaven knows what people cannot find.

When I woke I fell,
She died a princess in a flash!
I’m melting!
We melt in volcano fire.
Lazarus knew the right man at right time,
For every miracle
He had to die.

He got a mask and he gone loony,
A wife, a kid, ain’t it funny?
He got pets and he got giggles,
A sick kid in bed, escape into a movie with,
Yes yes yes yesyesOSOSO SOS

He walks the earth
For us.
