Lyrics
Listening to the great beyond
Where misdirection waves its magic wand
Everybody, sing that song
Tuesday morning comes along
I read the news, it's all gone wrong
The facts of life have left too soon
Serving up doom and gloom
Never gonna leave my room
Black Capricorn will blow the horn
For all the love that can't be born today
Everybody, walk away
Set 'em on up to knock 'em all down
And take me to your leader where the makeup
Is fake as fuck
Strap it on in to map it on out
Spin doctors wanna make you think you're straight up
Just out of luck
Set 'em on up to knock 'em all down
And take me to your leader where the makeup
Is fake as fuck
Strap it on in to map it on out
Spin doctors wanna make you think you're straight up
Just out of luck
Friday afternoon is cool
I lost my faith in Sunday school
Deliver me from Liverpool
I feel just like an April fool
Someone's gotta break that rule
Sticking to the script
We built another sinking ship, she's so alone
Never gonna leave my home
Mother Nature can't go wrong
The Science God's forever strong
A-floating in a great beyond
Everybody, sing along
Everybody, rock that song
Set 'em on up to knock 'em all down
And take me to your leader where the makeup
Is fake as fuck
Strap it on in to map it on out
Spin doctors wanna make you think you're straight up
Just out of luck
Because you're, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Set 'em on up to knock 'em all down
And take me to your leader where the makeup
Is fake as fuck
Strap it on in to map it on out
Spin doctors wanna make you think you're straight up
Just out of luck
I'm a lonely, lonely lord
Searching all night for the wrong reward
An appetite that's running on all fours
Misdirection waves its wand
Turning my head from black to blonde
Like a queen will now become the pawn
Busted on a ship gone, take me home
Mother named Faith made the lightning chrome
Busted on a ship that's sailing through the foam
I'm a lonely, lonely lord
Pick another day to be restored
Just another fate that's going overboard
