Lyrics Et Al. - Jonathan AKA J Dub

The sirens rang out in the golden eternity
The people all ran to see who had pulled back the cloth
And to them we're all actors on this half finished scenery
Once more with conviction or don't say it at all

We go through the motions with such elegant forgery
The flickering light-posts are most surely the cause
But now that I've run too fast it's all just a blur to me
The devilish one
I am the Wizard of Oz

It's almost that time when the darkness enters in me
No well composed song could truly banish it all
Right left toward the fire that's burning me
An unbuttoned effigy
Won't you leave me to thaw

My mother and father are just fools who have nurtured me
Their well honoured creed thrown out like notes in the wall
But now it's been done
Now it's just a murder to me
I'm one of them now so go and dig in your claws

I'll let you know when I'm a real person again
No no back door
No back door in this ocean, my friend

And as we drift out to other shores
We seem to find that what once saved us won't help us anymore
And as I raise my spyglass across the starboard hull
It's almost like I can finally
I can see the end
I can see the end

I'll let you know when I'm a real person again
I don't know why I've been told to be a servant again

As stars wave goodbye
And the earth passes under me
I've noticed the string that holds the full moon aloft
Now the sidewalks a sniper and the birds chirp conspiracies
I'm one with the now
So come and bring me it all
