The light that casts the shadows darker shades of black
To the drowning I am water
I'm not the type of angel who fell from divine grace
I stare at your world down the neck of a bottle
In bed well before the dawn
Was I the cat that got the bird?
So I'll just sign away my soul
Yes, I'll love you then leave you for no apparent reason
That hide the drugged up mugger who will stab you in the back
The rebels grail his cause
Every day is a death ride when I hold the throttle
With his best friends mack the knife
Everything was grand in wonderland
(By the pricking of my thumbs)
All the world is a stage so I aim to upstage you
My names are many my friends call me 'Legion'
My eyes are watertight like my alibi
Till Charles Manson came to tea
I care not what you perceive
He's a junkie Jesus Christ
For your calm I am the storm
Jack the ripper went to Sunday school
Kill me off but like ban quo I'll come back to plague you
I'm the one who was so bad he never got there in the first place
The vulture in the wings as the battle flags unfurl
And the blue eyed boy who lives next door
And if you cannot bear it then you'll just have to grin
All martyrs seek their cross and nails
(Something wicked this way comes)
And forget the buy out clause
The few who see me through my disguise
Spill the milk but I won't cry
I'm the fiend who's with your daughter
Abhor, deplore, hate and despise me
Do you think I'll be sad 'cus you don't like me
Each moment's a game and I must play it to win
Fall unto your knees
They'll put the blame on me
Well, I consider it highly unlikely
