  • "He held my hand when I died"
    "He told me all I could ask"

    "The politician bleats so blind
    With his hard hat on rotating in a circle

    Gimme some rosacea
    Nicotine to stain ya"
    Boys on the altar waiting to be crushed

    (You wanna know, you wanna know, you wanna know)
    But as he takes the stage, I'm gone

    (You wanna know, you wanna know, you wanna know)
    Oh, what the hell is all this

    Oh, is it in the way he calls your name (calls your name)

    Or is it in the way he prays for rain (prays for rain)

    The wheel is turning now (it's really turning now)
    It's really turning now

    Bone, to the blade
    My letter, white feather
    No halves
    Dread, that's what the devil said
    My prison, my prison, my guard

    (Bone, to the blade
    My letter, white feather
    No halves)
    (Dread what the devil said
    My prison, my prison, my guard)
    "He laid his hands upon me"

    (Bone, to the blade
    My letter, white feather
    No halves)
    (Dread what the devil said
    My prison, my prison, my guard)
    "He took a hold of my life"

    The terror
    And the old blood screech

    "When you mix those colours, something's gonna happen
    I don't wanna see them, I don't wanna know them"

    I spasm on the floor and wait for it to end

    (You wanna know, you wanna know, you wanna know)
    But as he throws the crutches down

    Eleven-thousand knees bent
    Let them know you're coming

    Oh, is it in the way he calls your name (calls your name)

    Or is it in the way he makes you pray (makes you pray)

    The wheel is turning now (the wheel is turning now)
    It's really turning now

    Do you wanna know how far you've come
    Do you wanna know how far you've come
    Do you have any idea

    Do you have any ideas

    Do you wanna know how far you've come
    Do you wanna know how far you've come
    Do you have any idea

    Do you have any ideas Writer/s: Alexander Kaines Robertshaw, Jeremy Joseph Pritchard, Jonathan Joseph Higgs, Michael David Spearman
