lyrics

Suburban life destroyed his regal dignity
It was a lonely year on a lonesome quest of futility
Darkened places, flashing lights
Failed to brighten up his nights
The bands around his heart were lost at sea

The hair grew from his head like a crown of thorns
He’d never ventured very far from the place that he was born
Open all the windows wide ‘cause he’s coming home to hide
The bands around his heart were old and worn

Hearts squirming with envy
The truth about life
Is written in memory

Heavy-lidded eyes and a smile as wide as The Heads
Helped him open doors to many noble palaces
But a robber and a thief can’t hold a fairytale motif
The bands around his heart were left in shreds

Hearts squirming with envy...

Are you happy where you are now that we’ve spoken?
The words they put inside your mouth came out broken
Are you happy where you are, now the consumer is the star?
The bands around his heart were burst wide open
