I’m floating above…
And I’m reaching beyond…
I’m the Wizard of Oz…
And all that belongs…
To you…
Belongs to me…
Open your eyes and see…
How it’s so fucking easy…
Behind my velvet curtain…
Through the smoke and mirrors…
The old art of distraction…
The chains that bind; your painful reaction…
As my anger fires…
Your humble soul expires…
My electricity, lighting up the wires…
I treat you mean…
Like Steve McQueen…
And it keeps you so very keen…
I’m the Wizard of Oz…
I can be cruel “just because”…
I’m the Wizard of Oz…
And you…
You belong to me…
Don’t you fucking see…
You’re under my spell…
Trapped in this vacuous hell…
The spot where you fell…
At my feet…
Devil and Angel would finally meet…
So simple…
So humble…
So innocent and sweet…
But you burnt up in my heat…
Wilted in the presence…
Of the Wizard of Oz…
Because…
Because…
Because…
You’re my prisoner by choice…
Not permitted to raise your voice…
You’re under my spell…
Enchanted by this Infidel…
The lies that I tell…
The stories I weave…
The way I mislead…
I’m the Wizard of Oz…
I’m injecting your dreams…
Applying my posion so liberally…
I’m infecting your visions…
As you sleep so peacefully…
Making you so god damn hungry…
But only for me…
Your heart is swollen…
Your pure soul is stolen…
And in death we shall be…
Entwined for all eternity…
Together forever…
Yet still together alone…
I’ll never rest under stone…
As I’m the Wizard of Oz…
Flying above and beyond…
My red hand holding wilted roses…
Pockets filled with dead posies…
A cheating heart and a broken soul…
But always, always remaining in control…
Always breaking my promises…
To you…
And to us…
As I’m the Wizard of Oz…
Because…
Because…
Because…
I can…
