Jeff Buckley
(j.buckley)
Would you like to meet the villain somewhere
Underneath the skull of a moon.
Fire burned his eyes out
Cause his chains are too long for you.
Someone has to pay for the damage done.
N-ones gonna love you now.
Your whole familys splintered,
Youre a slave to it all,
Now.
Oooooo ahhhhh
Youre a slave to it all now
Youre a slve
Welcome down to paradise rock.
There is no single entrance,
With the stars to revolve around,
There is no real underground.
No stars to revolve around
Here, theyre fashioning the noose.
Sickened by the knell of the graveyard bell
You know its not long for you.
Sick of all the vomit childhood,
Not a trampoline for the freaks,
Not even a slave to your father.
Oh, youre a slave to it all, now,
Oh, youre a slave to it all, now.
Welcome down to paradise rock.
There is no single entrance
Theres no stars to revolve around
There is no real underground.
Youre a slave to it all, now.
Happy, happy, happy, happy,
Happy, happy, happy, happy.
