Welcome, welcome to wonderland
Have you seen a rabbit here?
Clinging to your back as golden hands turn
A hypnotic stream of sand
Melting down to dunes of fear
Moving in a desert to cross you are afraid
And you just cannot help yearning
It's a funny, funny world, why don't you laugh?
I am drowning you, why don't you laugh?
Blind and numb you'll never see
That I jerk your strings
And I pull your leg
That you masquerade
And you swirl and you sway
Through my pitch-black and deadly cabaret until the music stops
Hush, hush keep acting comedy
With laughter from pandora's box
Where love is like fool's gold and tears like bloody diamonds
You cannot choose a middle way
Trembling from reviving shocks
Lie and grin on through your teeth
I forge them round my neck one day
It's a funny, funny world, why don't you laugh?
I am drowning you, why don't you laugh?
Blind and numb you'll never see
That I jerk your strings
And I pull your leg
That you masquerade
And you swirl and you sway
Through my pitch-black and deadly cabaret until the music stops
All my existence was wrapped around
A warmth and acceptance I've never found
I have become the monster they could not escape
So they made me the ultimate joke
Thus need not think 'til I rattle the drape
And since that one day I've arranged it with glee
Your pathetic old dance for eternity
Blind and numb you'll always be
While I jerk your strings
And I pull your leg
I left grace far behind
Since the day on which all you'd accept
Was but pain and misery
I never wanted fear from you
This gentle reaper will remind that once he had dreams too
