ladies and gentlemen welcome tonight
performing here for the very last time
is your life so please take a seat
the physics of innocence falls to the side
leaving the citizens nowhere to hide
so down the back stairs went all we know
i'm breathing out loud to pretend i'm alive
while strangers throw flowers and kiss me good bye
i guess i'm not as well as i had hoped
what ever happened to the greater design
it mus have stepped off with the first it could find
with the way it's all turned out who's to blame
rest your head here tonight
it's not supposed to turn out right
there's no one left and there's nowhere to go
maybe that's why i came
a still belief that it all can change
i hate the taste but i love the effect its bringing on
open committees are talking right now
deciding my fate and laughing out loud
the execution is on for the fourth of july
the only survivor was late to arrive
calling up sympathy and blessing the sight
it's all over now and you can't even cry
