Oh! As the lonely man died
The mistress she cried
"Now I'm alive
So you can watch the hand of your creation
Shake the world at its foundation
Build the backbone of the monster
And throw it to the wild blue yonder!"
And so! For the friends he had left
The ones he knew best
They took it in jest and whispered
"Though the warehouse may seem vacant
She's still working in the basement
Bearing all the woes of labor
To cure the ills of human nature."
Everybody watch as the current moves across the mountainside!
Everybody watch as the current moves across the sea!
Everybody watch as the current moves across the desert sands and distant lands!
Everybody watch as the current moves through you and me!
Brothers, bright and young
And our father who favored one son
After all of the battles I've won
Nothing ever was ever good enough
When we went riding you took off to hide from me
How could I know that you'd fall to the ground?
As you were lifted and brought to the clinic
The doctor had already told our town
The one they loved most
And I was left there to float
A life spent chasing your ghost...
