Intro

Verse 1

Once there was a man who had a

little too much

time on his hands

he never stopped to think that he was getting

older

when his night came to an end

he tried to grasp his for his last friend

and pretend that he could wish himself

health on a four-leaf

clover

Chorus

He said is this the return to oz the grass is

dead the gold is

brown and the sky has

claws

theres a wind-up man walking round and round what

once was emerald City's

now a crystal

town

Verse 2

It's three o'clock in the morning you get a

phone call from the

queen with a hundred

heads she says that they're all

dead

she tried the last one on it couldn't speak fell off and

now she just wanders the halls thinking

nothing

thinking nothing at

all

Chorus

She said is this the return to oz the grass is

dead the gold is

brown and the sky has

claws

theres a wind-up man walking round and round what

once was emerald city's

now a crystal

town

Guitar solo

The wheelies are cutting pavement and the

skeksis at the

rave meant to

hide deep inside their sunken

faces and their wild rolling

eyes but their callous words

reveal that they can no longer

feel love or

sex appeal

the patchwork girl has come to cinch the

deal

Final Chorus

Outro
