Try to remember those ancient evenings When all we had was just enough Now the pretender knows why the king is screaming The grief was finally just too much
I'm going to ride with the idol Like a creature on display Tied to the bottom of a cage Ride with the idol But it won't turn out the same I know they won't blow out the flame
Over my shoulder, I know they're waiting Their dirty hands are everywhere And as they get closer all the pretense is fading The face beneath the skin is bare
So now I ride with the idol Like a creature on display Tied to the bottom of a cage, oh yeah Ride with the idol But it won't turn out the same I know they won't blow out the flame
I can never learn to say no Won't they ever let me go?
