Welcome to this wonderworld
C# F#
Everybody take your sledges
D#m C# B F#
Winterland Plutocracy
C# F#
Down the slope don't fear the hedges
F# A E
Everybody in their box
D E
Waiting under rights of action
F# A E
Raise your heads and hold your breath
D E
I can't stand your putrefaction
F# A E
I can smell your brain decay
D E
As you look down at the stage and
F# A E
Drive me mad and then insane
F#m A E F#m
Welcome to the show
D#m
You've been waiting for the one
B F# C#
To bring you joy and ecstasy
D#m
And you've been waiting for a song
B F# C#
And you demand to feel the tragedy
F# C# D#m
But when it's right out of control
B
And it's not your song anymore
F#
And you are ready to forget
C#
The truth that you'd been asking for
D#m B
I'm not afraid to sacrifice
C#
And I don't care bout your advice
G#m G#
As I spread my wings and fly
F# A#m F#
No love - it's pain you've come to feed
C# G#
In mental strain I crawl and bleed
You make me please
F#m E A
Forever roaming
E F#m
You will hear it scream
D E
The cries of Speedhoven
F#m E A
Forever roaming
E F#m
Every starless night
C#
You will hear the cries
D#m
You'll never get:
F# B C#
I'll never be the one that you want me to be
D#m B
And all the treasures that you hold
C#
All your diamond rings and gold
All your flake and look and tongue
F# C# D#m
I have tried and it was wrong
B D#m
You tried to push me up a notch
B C#
But all I made was an itchy crotch
Fornication, ass galore
F# C# D#m
I wanted love and I want more
B D#m
Muckrakers waiting for the prey
B C#
Muckrakers want me to obey
But you will never own me
G#
Though you pay
F# A#m
This opera is haunted they will say
F# A#m G#
That's where they've driven the light insane
F#m E A
Forever roaming
E F#m
You will hear it scream

Every starless night

The cries of Speedhoven

La-la-la-la...

D#m B
In a cold winter night I had a vision
F#
Taking me by my hand
C#
Leading me to the door
D#m
To rescue me from the wastelands
A#m B
The glance of the shining ivories
F#
F# world that they can't understand
C#
Out of sound, out of reason
D#m
The voice of their laughter was gone
B F#
Taken away, time for a change
C#
I'm walking over
D#m B
Flying away, flying away
F#
Dying into another world
C#
Pure and divine
D#m
And the laughter dies
