Remember me, I used to be

The corpse you were dissecting

What pies have you got fingers in?

What shrines are you erecting?

How am I? Well, I survived

The jams you got me into

There's things I still don't understand

And maybe it's a sin to, but I begin to

It dawns on me that you're not quite well

You're not quite compos mentis

I don't want this job no more

The sorcerer's apprentice

I'll walk on hot coals any old day

Drill me deep at the dentist

Torture me, but I just can't be

The sorcerer's apprentice

Some happy day I'll be far away

We were all tied up in knots

You thought you could unravel

What twisted truth is in your head?

What is that road you travel?

Old Federico knew you well, the circus freak ringmaster

Led us all a merry dance to the threshold of disaster

And papered over all the cracks with

a giant sticky plaster, disaster

It dawns on me that you're not quite well

You're not quite compos mentis

I don't want this job no more

The sorcerer's apprentice

I'll walk on hot coals any old day

Drill me deep at the dentist

Torture me, but I just can't be

The sorcerer's apprentice

Some happy day I'll be far away

I'll walk on hot coals any old day

Drill me deep at the dentist

Torture me, but I just can't be

The sorcerer's apprentice

Some happy day I'll be far away
