[01:11.22]Out of the deep dark depths below
[01:13.44]Three ne'er do wells will avenge their souls

[02:12.17]There's no need to be scared now
[02:14.61]It's all the fun of the fairground
[02:17.13]And I would say I'm on fair grounds
[02:19.59]To take a little revenge now
[02:22.12]Everybody's heard of bertram piedmont
[02:24.33]Because my work pertains a certain frisson

[02:40.57]Better man than you've ever been
[02:42.13]It's a downward spiral time you felt a
[02:44.75]Little hell up in the helter-skelter
[02:46.61]No help or shelter board the ride
[02:49.13]Don't you know you've got to be this tall to die
[02:52.76]So sing along to the bouncing ball
[02:55.08]Wave your flags and renounce these halls
[02:57.46]You may have been sacked from this pantomime
[02:59.79]But a pal of mine wants you recalled
[03:02.77]So march along to the count of four
[03:05.07]Astound at the scoundrel crowd you've drawn
[03:07.57]Left stranded and damned to this mangled form
[03:10.07]To abandon us here was an act of war
[03:12.86]It's laughable to think you'll bring back the norm
[03:15.18]We've ink but no malpractice forms
[03:17.82]But henry you never gave a crap before
[03:20.22]'Til we trapped you down 'neath the factory floor
[03:23.26]Clap along to the rapturous score
[03:25.50]Three rounds down and back for more
[03:27.93]To find the keys in chapter four

[03:38.33]If there are secrets that you want to find out
[03:40.81]Hop on the ink machine and ride those pipes down
[03:43.24]So you're on the path of the starving artist
[03:45.66]But at the heart well the art is heartless

[03:53.43]Well I dropped in from the top
[03:54.38]And now I've got to block the
[03:55.80]Monsters popping off of nosferatu's rostrum
[03:58.32]Preposterous that after
[03:59.42]This my oscar's will be posthumous
[04:00.94]I lived for my work but I died to stop them
[04:03.61]Stationery should be stationary shouldn't talk back
[04:05.94]I need a shrink I'm on the brink
[04:07.62]The ink has fought back
[04:08.60]Thought that the apocalypse was supposed
[04:10.17]To live on horseback
[04:10.88]Screw that deliverance was hidden in the rorschach
[04:13.89]That's all folks
[04:15.17]Keep dreaming
