In your glass menengerie you hide

you can't face the day kinda dead inside

down again from your ego high and mighty

where illusion plays in between the lies

and you can look so vain with your snakeskin eyes

anesthatising, moralising to survive

oh oh oh, ain't life funny



As the critics bite and the cameras flash

the wolves are hungry for you to crash

picking on every single word you say

they try to put down your still talking free

you wont't show your vunerability

to the paparazzi circling the prey

oh oh oh ain't life funny

how a little too much of truth can get you down



Because

And it's so damn lonely in a world so phoney

where the cheaters never know they've sinned

will your wings keep flying, through the lost horizon

has your spirit gone dancing in the wind



Shiny suit and tie life's a compromise

the lion roars an the jungles cries

fools you've suffered, damn them all to hell

as the game exposed they can feel your sting

as the weakest falls to the power king

the just don't understand you've taken everything

oh oh oh, ain't life funny

how reality creeps in without a sound



Because

And it's so damn lonely in a world so phoney

where the cheaters never know they've sinned

will your wings keep glying, through the lost horizon

has your spirit gone dancing in the wind
