come on now the curtain is drawn. and tomorrow stands before you. dressed and draped in a cold black cape. like a crow he ignores you. look again there's a beautiful girl. covers sin in a holy land shroud. it's the great disappearing act. done again for the marveled crowd. as we're chasing our tails. and biting our nails. so strong and frail. and we build and tear it down. with barely the time to say. how did it get so late. i'll never know. step outside and now the doors open wide. and the minions are eager to find him. put a million miles under your heals. and you're still behind him. cover your clocks with your chains and your locks. while the seasons get hotter and colder. stretch your faces and lie about your ages. and still you're going to get older. as we're chasing our tails. and biting our nails. so strong and frail. and we build and tear it down. with barely the time to say. how did it get so late. i'll never know. hang on till your fingers break. and your hands unwind. he will escape you every time. from under your pillows. through open windows. and out on the rails. and we build and tear it down. with barely the time to say. how did it get so late. i'll never know
