Return To Oz
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.
I once went over the rainbow
To escape your control
Cause I don’t want to be
Restrained by the machine
Eliminating all my dreams
The pressure to conform
Hits me like electric volts
In the mirrors I can see
An imprisoned Queen
Holding out her hand to me
As my Emerald City
Is crumbling down
A headless sorceress
Hunts for me in the darkness
Everything is wrong
And all of my friends
Are turned to stone
Under the rule of the Nome King
Will I become an ornament in his halls?
Or will I go home?
But where is home?
They all think I’m crazy
Can’t talk about the place I’ve been
So I don’t have a voice
And I don’t have a choice
All I hear is static noise
And electricity
To kill or cure me
So I can be rid of
Lions and ruby slippers
But what will become of me
When my yellow brick road
Is torn up now
A headless sorceress
Hunts for me in the darkness
Everything is wrong
But I have friends
Who help me on
And we’ll never bow down to the Nome King
I’ll never become an ornament in his halls
I’ll find my way home
But where is home?
Where is home?
When I need to feel escape?
Need to feel safe?
Where is home?
When I need to feel escape?
Need to feel safe?
It’s crumbling down
But I’ll never bow down to the Nome King
I’ll never become an ornament in his halls
I’ll find my way home
There’s no place like home
