He wants an altered state, inside the mansion wallsShe says she'd rather wait, yeah, for evening to fallBut still the cap they eat and with a drink they chasedThe ghost that calledThey went to celebrate, they went to have a ballEveryone gathered at the gates but it wasn't good at allThe sky was turning gray, they laughed at their mistakeAs their skin began to crawlHey, but it's too late for to go back nowThey closed the gates and the scene was setEnter into his kingly caveDon't worry the leopards won't bite youWipe that big tear awaySee they got jumpsuits on the headless castAnd polished jewels under two inch glassAnd bullet holes in Vernon's room out backDon't worry the posse won't shoot youNo more crying todayHe's tripping over graves, as the rain begins to fallAnd finally they escape, when the shuttle bus is calledThe mourners now abate as one begins to sayI scream, I scream for allHey, but it's too late for to go back nowThey closed the gates and the scene was setEnter into his kingly caveDon't worry the leopards won't bite youWipe that big tear awaySee they got jumpsuits on the headless castAnd polished jewels under two inch glassAnd bullet holes in Vernon's room out backDon't worry the posse won't shoot youNo more crying todayHey, but it's too late for to go back nowToo late for to go back nowEnter into his kingly caveHe wants an altered state, inside the mansion wallsShe says she'd rather wait, yeah, for evening to fallBut still the cap they eat and with a drink they chasedThe ghost that calledYes, very nice
