We used to talk all the time The blindfolded bodies you stacked in the barn And they told you not to look behind you The elephants walk in a line The Ringmaster takes off his hat to the Queen And she opens her mouth as they file inside (ahh-ah ahh-ah ahh-ah ahh) You used to tell me the hurt The way they would strap you in freezing white basements And wire your heart 'til your hopefulness bursts The Queen cannot fit through the arch So she strips off your sisters and tells you to march And you fall in line with your hands on your throat The parade of paralysis starts The Ringmaster heads into town for the day And they were just little it staked them in place They're free now to run and they're free to run home But they lost the ideal of escape How they crowned you Weighted and drowned you How they made you numb No bandage around you Letras de cancionesI've found and unwound you Now how to make you run And the Queen she is falling apart She clutches the bannister shaking in shock At the ugliness of her own heart The ugliness of her own heart I had a dream that we talked We went to the White Cliffs and went for a walk And I counted the times that our true loves had died And you took my hand and looked over the side And we saw your body down there Getting taken away by the tide Now they're all gone but you've stayed The door is unlatched but you're not afraid There's a nice patch of straw and a comfortable cage The door is unlatched but you're not afraid There's a nice patch of straw and a comfortable cage How they crowned you Weighted and drowned you How they made you dumb No bandage around you I've found and unbound you Now where to make you run From Letras Mania
