Welcome to this wonderworld

Everybody take your sledges

Winterland Plutocracy

Down the slope don't fear the hedges

Everybody in their box

Waiting under rights of action

Raise your heads and hold your breath

I can't stand your putrefaction

I can smell your brain decay

As you look down at the stage and

Drive me mad and then insane

Welcome to the show

You've been waiting for the one

To bring you joy and ecstasy

And you've been waiting for a song

And you demand to feel the tragedy

But when it's right out of control

And it's not your song anymore

And you are ready to forget

The truth that you'd been asking for

I'm not afraid to sacrifice

And I don't care bout your advice

As I spread my wings and fly

No love - it's pain you've come to feed

In mental strain I crawl and bleed

You make me please

Forever roaming

You will hear it scream

The cries of Speedhoven

Forever roaming

Every starless night

You will hear the cries

You'll never get:

I'll never be the one that you want me to be

And all the treasures that you hold

All your diamond rings and gold

All your flake and look and tongue

I have tried and it was wrong

You tried to push me up a notch

But all I made was an itchy crotch

Fornication, ass galore

I wanted love and I want more

Muckrakers waiting for the prey

Muckrakers want me to obey

But you will never own me

Though you pay

This opera is haunted they will say

That's where they've driven the light insane

Forever roaming

You will hear it scream

The cries of Speedhoven

Forever roaming

Every starless night

You will hear the cries

Forever roaming

You will hear it scream

The cries of Speedhoven

Forever you'll hear it scream

In a cold winter night I had a vision

Taking me by my hand

Leading me to the door

To rescue me from the wastelands

The glance of the shining ivories

A world that they can't understand

Out of sound, out of reason

The voice of their laughter was gone

Taken away, time for a change

I'm walking over

Flying away, flying away

Dying into another world

Pure and divine

And the laughter dies

Welcome to this wonderworld

Everybody take your sledges

Winterland Plutocracy

Down the slope don't fear the hedges

Forever roaming

You will hear it scream

The cries of Speedhoven

Forever roaming

Every starless night

You will hear the cries

Forever roaming

You will hear it scream

The cries of Speedhoven

Forever you'll hear it scream
