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 up a notch But all I made was 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 Da daa, Da daa 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, oh, 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 hedge 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 roaming Forever you'll hear it scream Da daa, da daa
