Lyrics Jabberwocky - Skin Yard

Jabberwocky

Into a city I came
Its mad face laughing
It said, «Come in»
So through the city I walked
And there
Buildings laughing
Tooth extended
Saying, «Hope you enjoy your stay»
Along the cobblestone I gaze
At thousands of people
With masks, praying
And there, the psychic trees
Laughing buildings
«Welcome to the city streets,» they say
«Hope you enjoy your stay»
Oh, no
You know
I really want to paint the city
And I think that I’ll mix
My fear with the paints
And I’ll
Take lots of grays and blacks
And blend in some stone
Bash it up against the wall
I really want to paint the city
I think I’ll bash the paint
Up against the wall
Bash it up against the wall
Bash it
Bash the painting against the wall
Running, faceless clowns
Cardboard houses, up and down
No family or friends
Just thousands in masks
Pretending to be alive
And there
At the end of the city
A corridor extending outward
There’s a building spitting on the one
Through the city I run
And I’ve been complaced
I’m trying to hurry past
The city of deceit
Through the city I run
And there, and there
And there, and there
Cardboard people
And a place for me
Oh, no
Falling
Oh, man
«Enjoy your stay
Enjoy your stay
Welcome to the city
Enjoy your stay
Enjoy your stay»
