Scissor Sisters - Return To Oz Lyrics
Once there was a manWho had a little too muchTime on his handsHe never stopped to thinkThat he was getting olderBut when his night came to an endHe tried to grasp for his last friendAnd pretend that he could wish himself healthOn a four leaf cloverHe said is this the return to Oz?The grass is deadThe gold is brownAnd the sky has clawsThere's a wind up man walking round and roundWhat once was Emerald CityIs now a crystal townThree o'clock in the morningYou get a phone call from the queenWith a hoard of headsShe says that they're all deadShe tried the last one onIt couldn't speak, fell offAnd now she just wanders the hallsThinking nothing,Thinking nothing at allShe said is this the return to Oz?The grass is deadThe gold is brownAnd the sky has clawsThere's a wind up man walking round and roundWhat once was Emerald CityIs now a crystal townThe wheelie's are cutting pavementAnd the Skeksis at the rave meant to hide,Deep inside their sunken faces and their wild rolling eyes,But their callous words revealThat they can no longer feelLove or sex appealThe patchwork girl has come to cinch the dealTo return to Oz, we fled the world with smiles and clenching jawsPlease help me friend from coming downI've lost my place and now it can't be foundIs this the return to Oz?The grass is dead,The gold is brownAnd the sky has claws.There's a wind-up man walking round and roundWhat once was emerald cityIs now a crystal town
