about

B-side to 'Bald Apes'

lyrics

Behind the bars there lies a pair
Of tired, broken eyes and
Deep in each pair of eyes
There lies, beneath a wild disguise
A spirit shaking with a hunger
That is known to me
A body aching to be free

And all your beauty's on display
For those that come around each day
Majesty trampled to the ground
An anchor tied around its neck
My dear friends, you need a friend
Someone on whom you can depend
So take my hand and come with me

O! wretched beasts, come dance with me
We'll sail through leaves of blooming trees
O! wretched beasts, come dance with me
And be at peace

And every day's the same
The slow decay that eats away
The stink that suffocates my soul
And leaves me no control, well
My dear friends, you need a friend
Somebody that you can defend
So take my hand and come with me
My dear friends, you need a friend
And even nightmares have to end
Open your eyes and you shall see

O! wretched beasts, come dance with me
All those we see down on their knees
O! wretched beasts, come dance with me
And be at peace
