lyrics

there's a man on a stage his pretension has plagued him through life
in his palm wears a gauge which does tell his left leg do turn right
the temptation is rage the intentional day gave delight
when it did turn the page and no mind did he pay gideon's might

there's a town built on sand and by two blood-soaked hands did it rise
here the tower's unmanned and the jury withstands compromise
a production so grand in all truth it commands no reprise
yet the critics all panned this consortium of canned socialites

there's an ocean on stilts once that abbey road built in her head
an er head often tilts to one side for the guilt this has bred
it's been woven to quilts that she did wear as a kilt once to bed
with a lover she jilts then deposits in silt once he's dead

there's a staff made of string that the shopkeeper swings through the square
when the phone it does ring no reply does it bring so beware
of the ruthless boy king he notoriously sings "put er there"
while an old man does cling to his forty day flings and affairs
there's a child dressed in steel while his mother appeals to the judge
who's unwilling to deal for a baby who heals with a grudge
let the hangman reveal if salvation is real stones will budge
maybe time is a wheel for the woman who kneels in the sludge

there's a sky bathed in stone which is no longer home to the sun
yeah the moon it's alone though the clouds they do roam one by one
past harmonica's drone to the tune which does no man hear sung
to the stage walk the bones of the man once was known for his tongue
