Jabberwocky - Skin Yard

Into a city I came

Its mad face laughing

It said, «Come in»

So through the city I walked

And there

Buildings laughing

Tooth extended

Saying, «Hope you enjoy your stay»

Along the cobblestone I gaze

At thousands of people

With masks, praying

And there, the psychic trees

Laughing buildings

«Welcome to the city streets,» they say

«Hope you enjoy your stay»

Oh, no

You know

I really want to paint the city

And I think that I’ll mix

My fear with the paints

And I’ll

Take lots of grays and blacks

And blend in some stone

Bash it up against the wall

I really want to paint the city

I think I’ll bash the paint

Up against the wall

Bash it up against the wall

Bash it

Bash the painting against the wall

Running, faceless clowns

Cardboard houses, up and down

No family or friends

Just thousands in masks

Pretending to be alive

And there

At the end of the city

A corridor extending outward

There’s a building spitting on the one

Through the city I run

And I’ve been complaced

I’m trying to hurry past

The city of deceit

Through the city I run

And there, and there

And there, and there

Cardboard people

And a place for me

Oh, no

Falling

Oh, man

«Enjoy your stay

Enjoy your stay

Welcome to the city

Enjoy your stay

Enjoy your stay»
