lyrics

open up your eyes and see the writings on the wall
you're gonna need a more efficient world
to catch up with your own imagination
you can turn it upside-down but be aware
that the further you journey
away from the station
the harder it is to get back
from the truly surreal
and you must be so excited for the carnival but know
that the ticket may cost you
whatever was left of your mind
choose carefully the pieces you spare of your mind

keep a piece of yourself to yourself kid
though the colors sing beautifully blended-together
there's value in a color
in a corner by itself
so now that the candlelight freaks have turned the world upside-down
the children of hotel broslyn can play
they can make all the noise that they want
this magi-nation of careless magicians
keeps pushing the limits
to reach the next clive
has the moon's light
gotten far too maddening

go back to the drawing board
find a basement and set yourself free
here comes the clive
in the form of hindsight prophecy
even here in the upside-down
the world of men
wants a king
