Blacklights, corridors of power, lost without a map We skipped the tripwires, searched for hours, tiptoed through the traps We slipped through empty rooms with white walls, crystal chandeliers Carpets we could drown in, bells ringing in my ears.
We slipped through borders, skipped the lasers, murmurring a code We'd wade through holes, we dodged patrols, we swam through sewers, walked on coals Climbed the scaffold. Hell, they even left the rope. We saw our spinning friends descend, tortured.
[live version: swinging friends descend, choked.]
Through passages we danced, we glanced at fat men smoking fat cigars Who spun their webs on screens, threw telegrams in trays Candy soldiers raised the table, wearing labels, muttered curses, Hung the [sheep's heads], naked from their collars to their Blessed cotton socks
Every handshake gave a shock, a buzz, a charge We saw them stab the stars with sugar knives Then they fell in heaps of lard We watched but kept on moving higher
Through a hall of 2-way mirrors I spied a boy-scout shackled to a chair Could hear the wood snap in the [...] made a parting in his hair Still he dared to [bait] his master 'till the red wheel rolled from room to room
We padded past his tomb, kicked the door down The door that said `No Entry' In the lift, we flicked a switch and flew to floor 6666...
No one stood there waiting. No gaurd stood in our path. There was just a window wide open and a note pinned to the chair.
It said, ``Welcome, friends, you've passed the test. I'm glad that you could make it. From here you'll watch the world go by and doesn't it look sad? So Come to Daddy!''
