Desert rat cry me wolf

Shedding skin upon you lips

I pray for the love of madness

For the hand that takes the grip



And we close our eyes to forgive and forget

And we close our eyes to forgive and forget

Forgive and forget



With bated breath for the kingdom come

With bated breath for the kingdom come



I build myself a brave asylum

And ask all the madmen to play host

And when the colors all fade away

It's time for us to give up the ghost

Give up the ghost



And we close our eyes to dream a while

And we close our eyes to dream a while

Dream a while



With bated breath for the kingdom come

With bated breath for the kingdom come



And while we're talking in tongues of animal behavior

With a flick of the wrist you could've broken my heat

And done yourself a favor



And I cry in the heat for the promised and given

The hand I once would trust

Now for the love of heaven

You won't see me, see me for dust



And we close our eyes to love again

And we close our eyes to love again

Love again



With bated breath for the kingdom come

With bated breath for the kingdom come

With bated breath for the kingdom come

With bated breath for the kingdom come
