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
