I've got this madman
in my mind this
prolific designer
And he's working overtime
and he gets all wired up
Higher and higher
as we fly
We're Poets of the Fall
Perfect near fatal
headlong dive
A blueprint for life
blueprint your life
Aggressively primal
cultural high
This mental Versailles
is much grander
than the lies
You tell yourself to
get through the night
Sentenced to drama
for life
He tears a stampede
through my head
wild and horny
Just one chance to
kill it dead but
I will embrace it
Into the darkness
on we ride
To gamble is all
Perfect near fatal
headlong dive
A blueprint for life
blueprint your life
Aggressively primal
cultural high
This mental Versailles
is much grander
than the lies
You tell yourself to
get through the night
Sentenced to drama
for life
If all the isms and
doctrines of life were
a gentle breeze
Instead of that usual
judgmental freeze
Would we all be as easily
shanghaied to their cause
As now we seem to
object to every clause
And would we have
that unerring nerve
To go after our deepest
desires with
a similar verve
Who would it serve
Perfect near fatal
headlong dive
A blueprint for life
blueprint your life
Aggressively primal
cultural high
This mental Versailles is
much grander than the lies
You tell yourself to get
through the night
Sentenced to drama for life
