The theatre of the ugly!!
Welcome, the scene's been set
Sit with me tourists, see your face
In the Spirit as you booze to forget
The curtains are drawn
Across a hell-fire dawn
The TV tells you "nah, you can't leave!"
The Heartbeat convinces you
Hahaha!! You're free! You're free!
Who's this, stage right? Enter the Phantom
A chill through trap-doors, scheming and handsome
Married to Melancholia, that vicious exponent
Of haunting you in your emptiest moments
Scream with me children, scream with me,
You'll love me, you'll fuck me for I am The Human Body
Don't stop moving your feet
To the tunes that you know, the tunes that you know
Don't come just for one drink
Because you never can go, you never can go
Tonight, you're drinking
At The Queen's Head
Same hopeful thinking
Same hopeless dread
Tonight, you're moving
At The Queen's Head
Don't lose that feeling
Don't lose your head
Been in this corner steaming
For what feels like twenty years
My thoughts not yet screaming
As I sink back my fears
The man that I've been meeting
I gave up on, long ago
The Phantom made of knowledge
I know the truth 'bout where to go
I meant to meet a pastor
To read his holy book
I took for him a truth-teller
But his lessons, I mistook
When I turned up he was screaming
Lungs starved of any air
Shot down on the carpet
Think his corpse might still be there
Think his corpse might still be there
Think his corpse might still be there
Think his corpse might still be there
Don't stop moving your feet
To the tunes that you know, the tunes that you know
Don't come just for one drink
Because you never can go, you never can go
Tonight, you're drinking
At The Queen's Head
Same hopeful thinking
Same hopeless dread
Tonight, you're moving
At The Queen's Head
Don't lose that feeling
Don't lose your head
