Maze broken, she"s runnin", he's comin'
Feet swollen, she"s stolen
And before he even knows it she"s gone...
Tea cups, sittin" on the hollow tree stumps
He"s dumped and can"t seem to swallow these lumps
The beat goes on...
Same fire, new passion, old flame
Trade it in for a summer fling
There"s nothing like that sweet old song...
Tip over root, trees bend
The leaves blend in with the open wound
The freeze frames keep him warm...
The day"s frost has scraped off the weight loss
The new sign that says keep off
As he speeds off into the storm...
Out of spite, lighting strikes him twice
He"s peeking out on the pike and cheatin' life
Pealing out on the lawn...
Now he"s idling, his time is dwindling
In his mind he"s figuring out life"s about the little things
The labyrinth and all his magnificent
Only keeps the mice trapped, the princess is innocent
She doesn"t belong...
(I never thought I"d miss you)
They had a ceremony where he put her in a bridle, the headstall...
She stopped to think for a minute, and in a split second went AWOL.
(I never thought I"d miss you)
He draws in the chin as in a expression of resentment or scorn
He"s pullin" on the reigns, the bridle, the shower the storm
The maze, the high tower, clouds are at war
The reigns, the bridle, the shower, the storm
The maze, high tower, clouds are at war
The reigns, the bridle, the shower, the storm
The maze, the high tower, clouds are at war
Clouds are at war, clouds are at war...
(I never thought I"d miss you) [x3]
I listen for secrets hidden in whispers, and in the winter time
And catch them tickling my whiskers, colliding with wind chimes
The kind that send shivers up and down tingling spines
Thinking time could stretch if we'd spin a design inside our web that would catch drifts
The type that blow out birthday candles before we make our death wish
I'm waiting for a message in my calling so I'm checking my voice mail,
and I'm answering machines with man-made dreams
Man made bandaids to cover up the seams, the cover-up seems
To only work if the wound never opens up or bleeds
Beads of sweat form above the eyes of a heathen Emperor
Who won't get on his feet and step outside into the freezing temperature
He wants to adjust the global thermostat
But he's so remote (you can't control the world like that)
Come to find these eggs ain't even golden
I see depreciation in the family jewels the Queen is holding.
That broken marriage was fixed, happened when her feet were frozen
She still remains to be the only one who's seen the Emperor's new clothing
(I never thought I"d miss you)
