Lyrics The Tear Garden

The Tear Garden

Judgement Hour

I've got my eyes fixed on your picture

This finger's pressing you

Would you shut up for a moment

I need to see the future

Seems it's looking dim

I try to shake you off but still you cling

I never wear your ring

Green stains creeping down my finger

Wasn't there a thing that I did that gave you pleasure?

Wasn't there a thing that I did that made you laugh?

And the hangman shakes his head, tips the hourglass and counts

Former wives, former lives line up, then denounce me

People it's my party, people it's my house

It's me who makes the rules

If you cannot stand the heat, leave your grudges in the hall

It's me who makes the rules

I'm head of this table, all of you are mere projections

If I gave you false impressions, then that's just the way I am

What I say, what I think, are two entirely different things

That's just the way I am

We should never say forever, even when it's what we feel

It's what I feel, it's what I fear, it's what you hear Time stands still until tomorrow when I'm gone

If you keep clinging on, could that be forever?

People it's my party, people it's my house

It's me who makes the rules

If you cannot stand the heat, leave your grudges in the hall

It's me who makes the rules

We meet again my princess, let's get it right this time

Let's make a toast...

We could exorcise the ghosts...
