[and we'll take this fairy tale to the extreme...]
From this rooftop, the town is ours
Singing at the tops of our lungs
This is our world baby,
and nothing can stop us now
[Baby, we're invincible]
Silent explosions take place across the way
My arms are wrapped around your shoulders;
You're head placed so delicately on my chest;
As we mould this place into our perfection.
You don't have to watch as worlds collide,
I can say I led you blindly into this fate;
You're still just a child, but your heart is mine;
This empty façade; the world you see before you through those rose tinted glasses,
Is not yours; no not yours,
and you say you dream of the future,
Well baby here it is
[Our midnight parade, as we sing to their screams]
and I promise I'll help you see through all these lies
My lucid interpretation of the way you should be
we should be; this should be,
Baby, we can recreate the world after this chaos has passed;
But do you promise to wait
as I live out my punishment?
DO you promise to visit
As I'm sitting behind bars?
For this isn't all mine darling; I did it for you
Never forget; you can't speak a word
For my love, you're my puppet
and I could take you down with me
Just remember my love and how I treated you,
as we stand before this personal disaster;
Baby, we're invincible...
Until you speak a word.
