Suite 226

Hey you Do as I do You better no do as they say We're penniless exiles Washed up ashore We're unwanted here No matter what the signs say You're shuffling onward Still clinging to hope That this city is open for you Now bring me your cynics They know what is new Nothing, that's what Where your dreams all fall Where your dreams all fall apart And your life ends 'fore it started This life's just one big compromise The leash is on us all Our lights went out some time ago Like everyone's departed It calls from deep inside of me Let me go Hear, hear The prophet shall speak The road to perdition ain't long The skull of a giant A nice looking dome Says wanderer welcome Hey you Do as I do You better not do as they say Follow this madman Dance to his song And terror is all that remains Where your dreams all fall apart And your life ends 'fore it started This life's just one big compromise The leash is on us all Our lights went out some time ago Like everyone's departed It calls from deep inside of me [solo] Where your dreams all fall Where your dreams all fall apart And your life ends 'fore it started This life's just one big compromise The leash is on us all Our lights went out some time ago Like everyone's departed It calls from deep inside of me Let me go

I can't believe but there are creatures by your side In disbelief we stare and in it we abide Can I resist the call? Can we resist at all? When the stars are right Pray you misread the signs Your life's on the line When the stars are right (When the stars are right) Watching the Old One arise Come to the end of the line When the stars are right I do not know which way is up, lost in despair So you can have it your way I don't really care Watching the Old One rise Watching the Old One rise When the stars are right Pray you misread the signs Your life's on the line When the stars are right (When the stars are right) Watching the Old One arise Come to the end of the line When the stars are right In the depths of the oceans Where the black waters seethe With the nastiest notion Something stirs underneath From their aeons of slumber Deep, depraved, wicked dreams These most evil of creatures Now awake [solo] When the stars are right Pray you misread the signs Your life's on the line When the stars are right (When the stars are right) Watching the Old One arise Come to the end of the line When the stars are right

Dreamer see what I have for you See, it's luscious and pleasantly sweet I've soft-spoken demons And angels that roar Both nasty and pleasantly sweet Be it far from me To take away from you That lovely voice In its multitude But it's beckoning And I'm so left out For you and you and you Solitude etude Dreamer, hear what I have to say I can cure all that ails you with greed See, I've iron-clad contracts But satin soft sheets Your silence is all that I need Be it far from me To take away from you That lovely voice In its multitude But it's beckoning And I'm so left out For you and you and you Be it far from me (to take away from you) To take away from you (That lovely voice in its multitude) But it's beckoning (And I'm so left out) For you and you and you Solitude etude Give me your voice Oh, oh Give me your voice Give me your voice (Be it far from me to take away from you) (That lovely voice in its multitude) (But it's beckoning and I'm so left out) (For you and you and you) Be it far from me (to take away from you) To take away from you (That lovely voice in its multitude) But it's beckoning (And I'm so left out) For you and you and you Solitude etude Solitude etude Solitude etude Solitude etude

I woke up the other day To a world completely changed Nothing was the same The weatherman kept calm Joking 'bout the coming storm To pictures of the coast Sunny yet quite cold His story strayed To the people still at home Welcoming the anarchy And the violence within They think we don't know about it I cracked their code Now the fate of all humanity Hinges on me It's a question of humanity This old world relies on you and me Finishing my tea Tasting honey-sweet The newsman speaks to me I'm picking up my coat Soon I'm walking out that door He then asks if I'm alone Asks me for my time I'm paralyzed But I tell him that I'm fine And ask him what is on his mind They think we don't know about it I cracked their code Now the fate of all humanity Hinges on me It's a question of humanity This old world relies on you and me Now the fate of all humanity Hinges on me It's a question of humanity This old world relies on you and me Somewhere There's a doorway to secrets The pathways to wisdom Of pure understanding Somehow We will manage to find this This talon of power The wisdom inside Now the fate of all humanity Hinges on me It's a question of humanity This old world relies on you and me Now the fate of all humanity Hinges on me It's a question of humanity This old world relies on you and on me You and me You and me You and me

I always dream in color, but soon forget Time turns my yesterdays all black and white But you know there's a special place time just can't erase A place this monochrome must never know But tonight Deep in my darkest nightmare Of dead despair I saw the colors slowly draining Wake me up Hold me in the dead of night The darkness has me dead to rights So tell me I'll be fine That I'll find a way to smile That the colors will return And I will find I will find my way back home Somehow I'll find my way back home I try to paint in color, but as you know A rainbow must succumb to the dark of night So you see, when the light is dying I'm terrified To find my colors not return this time And the light is failing Wake me up Hold me in the dead of night The darkness has me dead to rights So tell me I'll be fine That I'll find a way to smile That this darkness won't go on And on and on and on [solo] Wake me up Hold me in the dead of night The darkness has me dead to rights So tell me I'll be fine That I'll find a way to smile That the colors will return one day And I will find my way back home Somehow I'll find my way back home

It was spring of an early summer Painted green with yellow swoon I could taste the bitter freedom I would lick it right off the spoon In the sallow face of genius In the early days of Pan I found mystery and wonder In the misery of man Then the sun shines in through your window As the rains fall inside the hole Hold your cup up, call on your servant That shackled you onto this throne (Shackled you onto this, shackled you onto this throne) What a world is this? Suite 226 Soon my shadow grew longer And the colors all burned And the storm just grew stronger And the records still turned I was lost in the thunder I was lost in the rain I was charmed by the silence Distilled from their pain Then the sun shines in through your window As the rains fall inside the hole Hold your cup up, call on your servant That shackled you onto this throne (Shackled you onto this, shackled you onto this throne) Then the sun shines in through your window As the rains fall inside the hole Hold your cup up, call on your servant That shackled you onto this throne (Shackled you onto this, shackled you onto this throne) What a world is this? When I fall Will you find me when I fall? I never saw myself quite like this I never pictured this My world feeds your world Your world bleeds my world So I found myself inside (I swear I didn't know) (I really didn't know) But all realities collide My world feeds your world Your world bleeds my world "Can someone call the warden?" "Lord, I'm dying here" "Please, let me out", I'm crying But nobody hears There's no nurse, just silence Where's the dinner bell? This might be hell But dying is the only tell I'm breaking out (I'm breaking out) Or so I tell myself this time There's no barrier I'm breaking out (I'm breaking out) This time I'm making it This time I will make it out I tried to spare my mother Of my deepest shame And I denied my father Well, that's all the same Never wrote my sister No one knows out there No, not a single soul knows I'm a prisoner here I'm breaking out (I'm breaking out) Or so I tell myself this time There's no barrier I'm breaking out (I'm breaking out) This time I'm making it This time I will make it out
