Let's start a class war at the bar That's where you'll find me Anachronistic catgut millionaire Strung out so highly. This dark cloud follows you around Slips by like c-c-c-cold silk Like a rat in a drain it refuses to drown Without a sound. Confutatis maledictis Flammis acribus addictis. Throw all your fine goods in the air Your fortune's falling Roll on the ground tear out you hair Fxxx you. This dark cloud follows you around Slips by like c-c-c-cold silk Like a rat in a drain it refuses to drown Without a sound. Come on people clap your hands Everybody get ready to die.

It's a roundabout way to get by Inspect your much-neglected introspective life Peer into bruised blue rigmarole You'll always have a scar to show Too far gone But we're getting along. It might not make a lot of sense When past mistakes make the present tense Maybe it's easier to play along. To tow the line is only right Sign for your complicated, underrated life In time to line up in a row Keep secrets they will never know Too far gone But we're getting along. It might not make a lot of sense When past mistakes make the present tense Maybe it's easier to play along. Absolute denial. Komatose inside. It's a roundabout way to get by.

Airplane feeling Locked into You're not leaving But you gotta have to Airplane feeling Sucked into Your mind is reeling And you know it's got you. Floating in a rarefied atmosphere Away from all that you hold dear Jump clear jump clear Without gravity a tear Is suspended like a sphere Like a sphere, perfect sphere. Flying by the southern circle Gravity's not true. Without gravity a tear Is suspended like a sphere Like a sphere, perfect sphere. In this purified atmosphere Away from all that you hold dear. Airplane feeling Locked into You're not leaving But you gotta have to Airplane feeling Sucked into Your mind is reeling And you know it's got you.

Smiling with those eyes infernal Getting to the poodle’s kernel Faustus do you know my name? I am the force that plays a twisted game. Suspend your disbelief I’ll show you how to end your grief Feather in my hat I’ve woven Can’t you see my hooves are cloven? Seduction soaks you through and through Old nick will make a fool of you This night will stay with you Always. It’s just an ancient game we play You’re a pawn, I give you credit For entertaining us this way It's our way Don't let the devil get you down. I sup with you a long spoon lingers The smell of brimstone on my fingers A life of pleasure for my heart A benefactor of the devil’s art The pact is sealed and now With worldly gifts I am endowed For all my lore and all my cost I stand no wiser than before And now I’m lost. His destiny is manifold He’s gonna’ reap just what he sowed This night will stay with him Always.

Inside a house of glass The past is never easy to conceal However that may feel And when I stepped outside A single flake of snow fell from the sky And danced before my eyes, Concealed and undisguised, into the sun. We are leaving town, we are leaving You’ll bring the flask I’ll bring the dream to believe in If we don’t know where we’re going to We can’t get lost along the way. And then it crossed my mind That you might be a different kind of girl The glass it cracked and pearled Unravelled every word we rested on. We are leaving town, we are leaving You’ll bring the flask I’ll bring the dream to believe in If we don’t know where we’re going to We can’t get lost along the way. Syphilitic sun The house you shone upon Never reflected The dreams we projected. We are leaving town, we are leaving You’ll bring the flask I’ll bring the dream to believe in If we don’t know where we’re going to We can’t get lost along the way. Inside a house of glass A never-ending past Inside a house of glass.
