ladies and gentlemen welcome tonight 
performing here for the very last time 
is your life so please take a seat 
the physics of innocence falls to the side 
leaving the citizens nowhere to hide 
so down the back stairs went all we know 
i'm breathing out loud to pretend i'm alive 
while strangers throw flowers and kiss me good bye 
i guess i'm not as well as i had hoped 
what ever happened to the greater design 
it mus have stepped off with the first it could find 
with the way it's all turned out who's to blame 
rest your head here tonight 
it's not supposed to turn out right 
there's no one left and there's nowhere to go 
maybe that's why i came 
a still belief that it all can change 
i hate the taste but i love the effect its bringing on 
open committees are talking right now 
deciding my fate and laughing out loud 
the execution is on for the fourth of july 
the only survivor was late to arrive 
calling up sympathy and blessing the sight 
it's all over now and you can't even cry
