The warning came by mail A music box, wrapped in wire Then a shadow broke through the door Scanned the room and opened fire And all that's good now flies away To a place that knows no past To rise and set forever Like the sun, at last And if it wasn't for me Time would not be turning anymore And if it wasn't for you They would know the answer And if it wasn't for me Time would not be turning anymore Take away the blinds I'll confess to any crime And if it wasn't for you They would know the answer You don't feel it anymore I know, I know, I know Burn, diorama, burn What lesson will you learn See the world we knew burn What lesson will we learn The diorama's all lit up Hippie, teddy, firemen, and me We're all waiting for our turn For you to wind us up, you see You hide between the pieces Ensnared by ties that only you can feel I throw in another shot Kiss these claws, try to believe that what you say is real And if it wasn't for me Time would not be turning anymore Take away the blinds I'll confess to any crime And if it wasn't for you They would know the answer You say it isn't so - but I know, I know, I know And if it wasn't for me Time would not be turning anymore Take away the blinds We cannot outlast this time And if it wasn't for you They would know the answer You don't feel it anymore I know, I know, I know All that's good now flies away To a place that knows no past To rise and set forever Like the sun, at last The warning came by mail A music box, wrapped in wire Then an angel walked through the door Scanned the room and opened fire And all that's good now flies away To a place that knows no past And I rise and set forever Like the sun, at last, at last Take away the blinds I'll confess to any crime You don't feel it anymore I know, I know, I know And if it wasn't for me Time would not be turning anymore Take away the blinds I'll confess to any crime And if it wasn't for you They would know the answer You say it won't be so - but I know, I know, I know And if it wasn't for me Time would not be turning anymore Take away the blinds We can not outlast this time And if it wasn't for you They would know the answer You don't feel it anymore I know, I know, I know
