Gruesome Gruesome

Brittle age has taken me on trial Accidents display a weakening So direction must go blind for a short while For temporary ailment haunts me Poor me (poor she) Poor me (poor she) Take notice, take heed for poor me So I like to think I have a lot of time Separation costs more than you think For when I'm not conducting a front line My brain consents to reflect upon one thing and you know what that is Me (poor she) Poor me (poor she) Take notice, take heed for poor me Sympathy and empathy So much needed praise To move grim thoughts away and reign supreme Hypocrites and young ones will never know my pain Oh shouting when no one is listening (Scream) (raging baritone sax solo and demon vocal time, sing-a-long) Poor me (poor she) Poor me (poor she) Take notice, take heed for poor me (Laugh!)

I don't want to be invited Just a humble taste or maybe just a view of your villainous ways A listener they call me A critic some may say I conquer life with large words and then I hide away chorus: In the lives of the living, in the lives of the living (today) I wonder what it's like though to really be inside to finally feel welcome yet horrified Grotesque compression brewing in my mind considering wrong doing or some twisted crimes chorus x 2 Frustration growing feeling not myself at last I may attempt to be someone else (oh no!) Might I feel compassion? Might I get my way? No I think I'm spent and I'm going to live today chorus

What of the lives of the lonely Should they ever get a break? Or are they worthy, worthy enough To live more lonely days What of the cruel people Scoring favored gaze What is fairness, and how does it balance? Supporting wicked ways Chorus: Was I wrong to haunt your days, does remorse get in the way? Or were you ever really satisfied with me? Do you long for an embrace, from the hand that once gave so many vicious, vile, evil, foul, charades What of the loving ones now? Always getting in the way Spreading amour, and merry thoughts Such grotesque behavior What is to think of mankind Such a vast array of gruesome deeds with little thought for any future days Chorus refrain

We've played a lot, shown so much of our fancy chops and now the crowd is listening So we'll pull the truck, every load and all that clicks to gain more support from the dough And right away (and right away) we'll form us a union (we'll form a union) or at least that's what they'll think With ghoulish games ( with ghoulish games), they'll take their communion (we'll take communion) and praise us while we watch them sink and shrink Yes, we'll heat the oil fry beliefs keep them uniformed all like a dream, just like a dream Dyeing the brains (dyeing the brains) and drying them out here (drying them out here) In magnificent blue, white and red (USA) We'll keep them safe (we'll keep them safe) providing the best care (only the best here) As they work their naive hands to death, and all that's left is Us, grasping hopes Drinking wine and mixing brine and all like a dream just like a dream it's all a dream such a good dream just like a dream just like a dream
