Lyrics
Marionettes With Halos
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Imperial Goliath
Lost in an unhelpful space
And you know who's creating islands
Of increasing entropy
And mesmerized circus monkeys
Dissolve like quaaludes in lemonade
Industrial moguls trot out their sermons
They’re all, they’re begging for a new sound
Marionettes with halos sell out their rights
Ooo, crack, baby, crack
Marionettes with halos immortalized
Doomed variety acts
Marionettes with halos sell out their rights
Crack, baby, crack
You’re so full of lies
Pimped in X-factor make-up
Applause over end credits
As the ghouls leave the theater
You may be very sexy
But you’re not an artist at all
Karaoke pipe dreams of rock'n'roll eunuchs
Proclaiming Dick Rowe for their hero
Marionettes with halos sell out their rights
Ooo, crack, baby, crack
Marionettes with halos immortalized
Doomed variety acts
Marionettes with halos sell out their rights
Ooo, crack, baby, crack
[indistinct]
Crack, baby, crack
Marionettes with halos sell out their rights
Ooo, crack, baby, crack
Marionettes with halos immortalized
Doomed variety acts
Marionettes with halos sell out their rights
Ooo, crack, baby, crack
Marionettes with halos sell out their rights
Marionettes with halos
Crack, baby, crack
Crack, baby, crack
Crack, baby, crack
Ooo, crack, baby, crack
