Try to remember those ancient evenings^M

When all we had was just enough^M

Now the pretender knows why the king is screaming^M

The grief was finally just to much^M

.^M

I'm going to,^M

Ride with the idol^M

Like a creature on display^M

Tied to the bottom of a cage^M

Ride with the idol^M

But it wont turn out the same^M

I know they wont blow out the flame^M

.^M

Over my shoulder, I know their waiting^M

Their dirty hands are everywhere^M

And as they get closer all the pretence is fading^M

The face beneath the skin is bare^M

.^M

So now I,^M

Ride with the idol^M

Like a creature on display^M

Tied to the bottom of a cage, oh yeah^M

Ride with the idol^M

But it wont turn the same^M

I know they wont blow out the flame^M

.^M

I can never, learn to say no^M

Won't they ever let me go.^M

.^M

I'm going to^M

Ride with the idol^M

Like a creature on display^M

Tied to the bottom of a cage^M

Oh yeah yeah^M

Ride with the idol^M

But it wont turn the same^M

I know they wont blow out the flame^M

Ride with the idol^M

Like a creature on display^M

Tied to the bottom of a cage^M

Oh yeah yeah^M

Ride with the idol^M

But it wont turn out the same^M

I know they wont blow out the flame (fade)^M
