I never lied
To myself
Tonight
Rose-tainted eyes
Colour my sorrow
A shade of wine
Bye bye black balloon
I'll see you real soon
Wave bye bye
Bye bye
Oh. why are you so sad?
What have they done?
Forget those mindless baboons
They're off playing God
Copy cats in cheap suits
All playing it safe
While cannibals with their noose
Consume a parade
Is it wonderful?
Far, far... from ashore
Land of nightmares
Gone forevermore
And I love you more
Than I can't control
I don't even try
Why would I...?
Oh, why the long face?
You've got it all wrong
Forget the lead and the rings
We'll choke chain them all
Fate favours the ones
Who help themselves
The rest feel the sting of the words
As they row (as they row)
A boat... to hell!
