Voltaire - The Headless Waltz lyrics

As above, so below, place your bets Which way the head will roll Made in your image we are at least As twisted and mean as thee 'Fore your eyes, what a curious sight Your children have turned on you And you say, you don't sleep well at night Well, we'll take care of that for you Belle Marie Antoinette "Love the pearls!" They'll make a great tourniquet Never did as you should and you claim It was all for our very own good 'Twas a lie, a magnificent lie Now, your subjects have turned on you And you claim you have lots on your mind Well, we'll take care of that for you Get that damn thing off the neck I'm the head of the board now I'm bored of her head Sharpen up the blade boys, what are you waiting for? Here's where we all get ahead! Wipe that damn smile off your face Or we'll lop it off clean with our new guillotine Sharpen up the blade boys, what are you waiting for? Here's where we all get ahead! All my troubles, all my pain Stems from this thing that you call a "brain" Be my guest, sever me from the source Of all my agony What a shame, I've forgotten my name Without the use of my brain and "My, bet I'll sleep well tonight!" Without this head of mine Get this damn thing off my neck I'm the head of the board now I'm bored of my head Sharpen up the blade boys, what are you waiting for? Here's where we all get ahead! Wipe that damn smile off your face Or we'll lop it off clean with our new guillotine Sharpen up the blade boys Bells are now tolling, soon heads will be rolling Please Sir, for me, Sir, Won't you see if you see, Sir? Oh dear, I dread I seem to have lost my head I think I left it about It fell to the ground And I kicked it around Has anyone seen, no need to be mean, My bloody, fat, ugly head? Please Miss, for me, Sis, Won't you see if you see, Sis It's got black hair And it's kickin' about in the square I'm really not totally sure but I think that it might have rolled into the sewer. Has anyone seen, no need to be mean, My bloody, fat, ugly head?
