Have you got just a minute

Are you easily mad

Let me show you the back room

Where I saw the dead

Dancing like children

On a midsummer morn

And they asked me to join

They asked me to join

But my body was stubborn

Wouldn't let me give in

So I offered a good deed

In return for a sin

Now they've got me where they want me

In this daily parade

And I walk unafraid

I walk unafraid

But the crowd's are all laughing

At my every mistake

And its making my neck hurt

And I feel like a fake

How can I even stand here

Like I've something to say

I got nothing to say

I got nothing to say

And it feels like I'm changing

Keep forgetting my way

So I asked an old stranger

And he led me astray

It's something we're missing darling

So let's wander instead

And I'll show you the back room

Where I saw the dead

And we will be thankful

And we will be fed

You take the torso

And I'll take the head

It's something we're missing darling

So let's wander instead

And I'll show you the back room

Where I saw the dead
