Lyrics
Cavaliers and Roundheads
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.
Three is evil
The most evil of all the numbers
Coarse and hateful
Full of unrest and neglect
(Hey!)
When they get here
You become someone else
Cruel and distant
A Cavalier to my Roundhead
And as you make
Your pretty speech
(Hey!)
I seethe
(Like Vesuvius)
With reason drowned by toxic thoughts
I'm going to the dark side 'cause...
Sometimes I want to hurt you x8
I want reparations
The street to run with your blood
I want the limelight back
I want it back
There is no reason to pretend
That we are closer than this
(Hey!)
For I know that you know that I know that you know
I would rather claw out your eyes
With reason drowned by toxic thoughts
I'm going to the dark side 'cause...
Sometimes I want to hurt you x8
I want reparations
The street to run with your blood
I want the limelight back
I want it back
With reason drowned by toxic thoughts
I'm going to the dark side 'cause...
Sometimes I want to hurt you x8
I want reparations
The street to run with your blood
I want the limelight back
I want it back
