Ohh call it like it sounds
You don't stand a chance
Decisions are made baby
There's no turning back
You've been, saturated with this worry and waste
Woke in the mad house ran out the stone steps with pace
Shouting, profanities, demanding, sanity
But I'm just being paranoid I won't go, back to sleep
I'm taking these, overextended trapeze leaps
Creating sound, coming out, on a higher plateau
Vibrations on this higher plane but I don't know
I'm juxtaposed to these opium dreams of total recall
I hear the jukebox howl, these mustard gas vocals all sorts of Alcatraz blues
Standing pigeon toed dancing barefoot
Over broken wine glasses and piles of shattered photographs like archaic vinyl albums
And, clever incantations, singing like daisy chain addicts
Caught in the act of committing bad habits rockin' and rollin'
He went and hit the high road, he told me don't overdose, check the time and your pulse
Ohh call it like it sounds
You don't stand a chance
Decisions are made baby
There's no turning back
And I've been, distracted of late to say the least
Been expelled from the academy on account of these twisted beliefs
But mishaps they happen believe me there's no need to worry at all
Go on ignore the cause, I guess it's no one's fault
I've been looking for the source, can't remember where I left my keys you
Had the tools of your dreams in your hands and let it slip through the seams
You can't remember what you thought you'd be
This stale malice, all this, misdirection, satisfaction
Some average stats and oh so much to my amusement
It's another Sunday at the cemetery
Took my cue to leave stage right and left already
And since then I've realized, these things they come in due time
It's hard to be authentic, even more to be precise but
This life a villain in a victim's disguise, this life a villain in a victim's disguise
Ohh call it like it sounds
You don't stand a chance
Decisions are made baby
There's no turning back
