Loneliness, tenderness, high
society, notoriety.
You fight for the throne and
you travel alone
Unknown as you slowly sink
And there's no time to think.
In the Federal City you been
blown and shown pity,
In secret, for pieces of change.
The empress attracts you but
oppression distracts you
And it makes you feel violent
and strange.
Memory, ecstasy, tyranny, hypocrisy
Betrayed by a kiss on a cool
night of bliss
In the valley of the missing
link
And you have no time to think.
Judges will haunt you, the
country priestess will want you
Her worst is better than best.
I've seen all these decoys
through a set of deep turquoise eyes
And I feel so depressed.
China doll, alcohol, duality,
mortality.
Mercury rules you and destiny
fools you
Like the plague, with a dangerous
wink
And there's no time to think.
Your conscience betrayed you
when some tyrant waylaid you
Where the lion lies down with
the lamb.
I'd have paid off the traitor
and killed him much later
But that's just the way that
I am.
Paradise, sacrifice, mortality,
reality.
But the magician is quicker
and his game
Is much thicker than blood
and blacker than ink
And there's no time to think.
Anger and jealousy's all that
he sells us,
He's content when you're under
his thumb.
Madmen oppose him, but your
kindness throws him
To survive it you play deaf
and dumb.
Equality, liberty, humility,
simplicity.
You glance through the mirror
and there's eyes staring clear
At the back of your head as
you drink
And there's no time to think.
Warlords of sorrow and queens
of tomorrow
Will offer their heads for
a prayer.
You can't find no salvation,
you have no expectations
Anytime, anyplace, anywhere.
Mercury, gravity, nobility,
humility.
You know you can't keep her
and the water gets deeper
That is leading you onto the
brink
But there's no time to think.
You've murdered your vanity,
buried your sanity
For pleasure you must now
resist.
Lovers obey you but they cannot
sway you
They're not even sure you
exist.
Socialism, hypnotism, patriotism,
materialism.
Fools making laws for the
breaking of jaws
And the sound of the keys
as they clink
But there's no time to think.
The bridge that you travel
on goes to the Babylon girl
With the rose in her hair.
Starlight in the East and
you're finally released
You're stranded but with nothing
to share.
Loyalty, unity, epitome, rigidity.
You turn around for one real
last glimpse of Camille
'Neath the moon shinin' bloody
and pink
And there's no time to think.
Bullets can harm you and death
can disarm you
But no, you will not be deceived.
Stripped of all virtue as
you crawl through the dirt,
You can give but you cannot
receive.
No time to choose when the
truth must die,
No time to lose or say goodbye,
No time to prepare for the
victim that's there,
No time to suffer or blink
And no time to think.
