And now the shades are drawn
This dark infesting shadows cross
the hall and now they're gone

I see this old arcade
And rain comes down the gutters to the wood this liquid dawn
So my heart races now
These palpitations bust the seams off my laced sequin dress
I see you standing there

With rosy fingers, damn this life a godless existence
This schizophrenia is taking over me
And we don't need this now do we!
It never was like this

But still I could not be trusted with your love no not once
We danced the meringue
Those golden footsteps signs of our fate in redundancy
But now the past is gone And now

I'm messed up beyond any thought or small belief
This fate is choking me
Like icy water from the depths of that barrier reef
This schizophrenia is taking over me
And we don't need this now do we!

This schizophrenia is taking over me
And we don't need this now do we!
Talk to the light, you'll be colored so bright
Behind the wheel, they stalk over the drill sirens

Open your mouth behind shades ofÂ…
Waking in fire and dreaming inÂ…
Holding the night behind straight corn and papyrus
Holding by lusciousÂ…
Stares that you gave us

Waiting for strength behind locks in the fire
Wait for the love that you said would inspire
Wait for the times that you
Said you would cherish
Wait for the love that you

Said that would make it!
This schizophrenia is taking over me
And we don't need this now do we!

This schizophrenia is taking over me
And we don't need this now do we!
