Lyrics

Smile for the Colored Queen that no one?s ever seen
Dance you serpent children of the libertine
Shatter every looking glass and break every belief
That offers truth and wisdom, and false security

?Fact is better left to fiction?? someone said
Life is only contradiction, when you?re dead
I have always looked for heaven up above my head
But if there is a next time, I?ll look on you instead

Roam the park midnight and wander the zoo
Shed a tear for those of us caged in solitude
Ponder your existence until it renders you insane
Then fill your head with empty thoughts and things you can?t explain

Make my bed as soft and narrow, as my grave is deep
For every blessing I was given in heaven I will keep
Give me one more sip of wine and sing me off to sleep
With melodies sincere enough to make the devil weep
