Pull the car over, you're frightening the kids
Pull the car over, you're frightening the ki-
What did you promise us
About grinning in the rear view without your fake teeth in?
Keep your glass eye
Glued on the end of the highway up ahead of us
The collision is always licking its lips

You weren't supposed to open the door
Just keep the plane from drifting off course
We'll attend to the terrified first class
Convinced there's a hoof print on the bow

All hail the wounded heart contingent
Who've given us something more than faultlessness to sing about
Long live prosthetic live wires
The faulty mechanism of hope has disintegrated

Your captain nailed his feet
To someone else's ship at the sight of me
Your captain nailed his feet
To someone else's ship at the sight of me

Do what your mother tells you
Do what your mother tells you
Do what your mother tells you
And put down the sheriff's horse
Do what your mother tells you
Do what your mother tells you
Do what your mother tells you
And put down the sheriff's horse
The choir on the black box rejoiced splendidly
Singing "Hallelujah, the king is dead"
The choir on the black box rejoiced splendidly
Singing "Hallelujah, the king is dead"
The king is dead
