So I arrived
naked and cold
A welcomed change
from the abeyance
of a ghost town catacomb
No need for counsel
I appreciate the time I'm not alone
There were days
these child eyes
would overlook
the ugliness and fantasize
I found my heart
for the first time
and I awakened in me
I left myself to navigate
and oh I felt control
Who is the crowd
that peers through the cage
as we perform here
upon the stage
Ooh
As the boy became a man
in came a calm sophistication
I can hardly understand
So lost in ego
didn't notice when
the time had slipped away
Jesus Christ was born to die
Leave it to man
to levitate his own to idolize
We're simply sociopaths
with no communication baby
I see your angle
but we differ
from our points of view
Ooh
Who is the crowd
that peers through the cage
as we perform here
upon the stage
Tell me a lie
in a beautiful way
I believe in answers
just not today
Hope my wheels
don't abandon me now
seeing that I'm out here alone
I'm running out of fight
And the wind speaks
a comforting voice
guiding me to her arms
Mother I'm alright
It took the birth of sin
to snake-rattle the mind
Before a blow to the head
by the gavel of time to wake up
Won't you wake up
When did the walking apes
decide that nuclear war
was the only solution
for them keeping the score
Just wake up
Can't you wake up
Ooh
Hahaha
Who is the crowd
that peers through the cage
as we perform here
upon the stage
Tell me a lie
in a beautiful way
I believe in answers
just not today
