do you feel like no one needs you do you feel like all the joy is gone when a bitter dream cracks through your grinning mask look beyond the shattered pieces and clear the wreckage i got a closet full of broken legs that i don t wanna stand on it s planned wrong it s like i don t understand mom the same sad song and dance gone awry on demand on the fly cross the land by and by ride or die left high and dry run into the sandbar praying for a high tide or a run in with the land shark a landmark anything that signifies a hope that i ll be going back to charting open water i can taste it face it it s time to let the birds out of their cages i m out of my patience i ain t seen a lighthouse in ages pages are cluttered i m undercover wishing for a lover while i m singing for my supper like and she dances like the ocean by candlelight a fan of my devotion a phantom of the floating opera and she honored my system but i m the victim she brought a pax on my wisdom blood drunk with an incurable hangover and i m unsure if i ll stay sober it s like i know it ain t over your heart belongs to me now but it s certain to change owners and it s that strange odor more than fishy that s got me warped and shifty fishing in a lost cause lock stock and two smoking earlobes some third grade de niro with a hero complex zeroed in and singing and dancing for the bullets flying at my feet while i feed her hunger she s harassing me but i turn it around casually light a match and watch her laugh factory burn to the ground x2 she holds that pose where no grass grows just a cold black rose on an old back road  and she dances like the ocean by candlelight a fan of my demotion a phantom of the floating opera and she honored my system but i m the victim she brought a pax on my wisdom and she dances like the ocean by candlelight a fan of my devotion a phantom of the floating opera why should we be at such desperate haste to succeed and in such desperate enterprises look beyond the shattered pieces and clear the wreckage1
