Scissor Sisters - Return To Oz lyrics

rate me

Once there was a man

who had a little too much

time on his hands.

He never stopped to think he was getting older.

And when his night came to an end,

he tried to grasp for his last friend

and pretend that he could wish himself health on a 4-leaf clover.

He said: Is this the return to Oz?

The grass is dead, the gold is brown

and the sky has claws.

There's a wind-up man walking round and round.

What once was emerald city is now a crystal town.

3 'o' clock in the morning,

You get a phone call from the Queen

With a hundred heads

she says that they're all dead.

She tried the last one on it couldn't speak fell off

and now she just wanders the halls

thinkin' nothing, thinkin' nothing at all...

She said: Is this the return to Oz?

The grass is dead, the gold is brown

and the sky has claws.

There's a wind-up man walking round and round

What once was emerald city is now a crystal town.

The wheelie's are cutting pavement

and the Skeksis at the rave meant to hide,

deep inside their sunken faces and their wild rolling eyes,

But their callous words reveal that they can no longer feel

Love or sex appeal

The patchwork girl has come to cinch the deal

To return to Oz, we fled the world with smiles and clenching jaws

Please help me friend from coming down

I've lost my place and now it can't be found

Is this the return to Oz?

The grass is dead, the gold is brown

and the sky has claws.

There's a wind-up man walking round and round

What once was emerald city is now a crystal town.
