Sing, sing, oh, so sucker
For the sugar substitute and artificial flavoring
Small wonder I felt so safe
Inside nothing more than a smoke screen and masquerade
But outside a car bomb's ticking
Inside a car bomb's ticking
The words I wrote are a broken chain
Holding me from the criminally insane
But it's gone and there's no stopping
All my balloons are popping
Oh, there's no stopping, oh
Oh, there's no stopping, oh
But the tree was not yet down
As she lifted the flag from the bloody ground
Whispering, gallons of gas and a makeshift cast
And I'm still no further from nowhere fast
Listen, downstairs the doorbell's ringing
We've been waiting
I've been waiting
For the words I wrote are a broken chain
Holding me from the criminally insane
But it's gone and there's no stopping
All my balloons are popping
Oh, there's no stopping, oh
Oh, there's no stopping, oh
The words I wrote are a broken chain
Keeping me from the criminally insane
But it's gone and there's no stopping
The words I wrote are a broken chain
Holding me from the criminally insane
(The words I wrote are a broken chain
Holding me from the criminally insane)
The words I wrote and the songs I sang
Kept this ship from sinking to its grave
But it's gone and there's no stopping
All my balloons are popping
