Everybody take your sledges
Dm C A# F
Winterland Plutocracy
C F
Down the slope don't fear the hedges
F G# D#
Everybody in their box
C# D#
Waiting under rights of action
F G# D#
Raise your heads and hold your breath
C# D#
I can't stand your putrefaction
F G# D#
I can smell your brain decay
C# D#
As you look down at the stage and
F G# D#
Drive me mad and then insane
Fm G# D# Fm
Welcome to the show
Dm
You've been waiting for the one
A# F C
To bring you joy and ecstasy
Dm
And you've been waiting for a song
A# F C
And you demand to feel the tragedy
F C Dm
But when it's right out of control
A#
And it's not your song anymore
F
And you are ready to forget
C
The truth that you'd been asking for
Dm A#
I'm not afraid to sacrifice
C
And I don't care bout your advice
Gm G
As I spread my wings and fly
F Am F
No love - it's pain you've come to feed
C G
In mental strain I crawl and bleed
You make me please
Fm D# G#

The cries of Speedhoven

Every starless night

You will hear the cries
Dm
You'll never get:
F A# C
I'll never be the one that you want me to be
Dm A#
And all the treasures that you hold
C
All your diamond rings and gold
All your flake and look and tongue
F C Dm
I have tried and it was wrong
A# Dm
You tried to push me up a notch
A# C
But all I made was an itchy crotch
Fornication, ass galore
F C Dm
I wanted love and I want more
A# Dm
Muckrakers waiting for the prey
A# C
Muckrakers want me to obey
But you will never own me
G
Though you pay

This opera is haunted they will say

That's where they've driven the light insane

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