With a hazy mind and half a deck You know you've got to go One card wrong in the tumbling house And all the walls must fall
For so long you held the ace But didn't want to play And now your house of cards is gone There's nothing left to say So beware the demon drink Unhappiness assured Never feel, no never think All hail the demon god
Let us pray
So remember the music The flashing lights The lunatic excitement
For a time we stilled Those panicked eyes And soothed the savage beast And still it comes back to this Cannot cope, cannot fit Never feel, no never think The demon god unleashed
An ecstasy of fumbling In the darkness breathing faster But the outcome is inevitable Happily ever disaster
Let us pray
You are not, will not, cannot me mine So I'll stand and watch just one more time The end is always coming faster Happily ever disaster
