The world burns while the devil fiddles
And I'm stuck in the middle
The flies hide in the fog that thickens
While you scream at the dog that bit ya
The pale hands in the green deep water
Will touch you and it's so simple
A secret you'll carry for all of your days
We all know how your money is made
A secret you'll carry for all of your days
We all know how the piper is paid
Stranded on the holy mountain
I tried to make a happy ending
To stories of the blooden siren
And highways that her song has haunted
The world burns while the devil fiddles
And we are stuck in the mi-mi-middle
Play the game that turns in spirals
Same place, same time tomorrow
Same place, same time tomorrow
Same place, same time tomorrow
A secret you'll carry for all of your days
We all know how your money is made
A secret you'll carry for all of your days
We all know how the piper is paid
A secret you'll carry for all of your days
We all know how the piper is paid
We all know how
We all know how
Tick, tock
