Lyrics
Mayor: It’s somewhere past midnight, my office the sole light The weight of the city is perched on my back Disputes and decisions, the mad circus deafens And troubles in piles crash down on my lap It’s 3 am and once again the lonely nightime never ends Like pills i chew all day, my ulcer kept at bay This city exists one step from the abyss And some days I’m all that can keep it still sane My son the school says is disturbed in his head As if i can take one more straw on my back My marriage is empty, my family resents me No friends just agendas all perched to attack His nanny cares for all his needs he loves her now far more than me He asks for her when it’s just us all alone You forfeit your pleasures to keep this city together I tell myself he’ll understand when he’s grown What few people know is there’s dwarves down below Far under the city where membranes dissolve They live down there still, work their damn hamlets mill The wheel round which eras and epochs revolve And It’s very rare the few times when they somehow decide they will send Some strange baffling warning way up to our stead The last time they did, that mccailister b*t*h Unleashed her plague of dolls voodoo and dead
