Puppets of hay and a king for sale

Cries Jolly Roger

The jester dance the 'joker strut'

In the court of rebel sodville

Bring wine for the knights in crime armour

As time beats away and

Bring em all shattered glass in flowers

In hopes that they all might stay

One more day



Put a jack for hire on the cold wheel of fire

Cries dolly dagger

With a ripple hot in the wing iron pot

In the court of rebel sodville

Bring wine for the queen in red; courage

As time beats away

And she smiles as they drift past her humor and hopes

They all might stay

One more day



What a master of power in the cold ivory tower

Cried sully Stephen

As a snowdrift night brings a chilling bite

To the court of rebel sodville

Bring wine for the knights in crime armour

As time beats away

And wiling in an acid bath of hours

We hope that they all might stay

One more day
