Try to remember those ancient evenings When all we had was just enough Now the pretender knows why the king is screaming The grief was finally just to much . I'm going to, Ride with the idol Like a creature on display Tied to the bottom of a cage Ride with the idol But it wont turn out the same I know they wont blow out the flame . Over my shoulder, I know their waiting Their dirty hands are everywhere And as they get closer all the pretence is fading The face beneath the skin is bare . So now I, Ride with the idol Like a creature on display Tied to the bottom of a cage, oh yeah Ride with the idol But it wont turn the same I know they wont blow out the flame . I can never, learn to say no Won't they ever let me go. . I'm going to Ride with the idol Like a creature on display Tied to the bottom of a cage Oh yeah yeah Ride with the idol But it wont turn the same I know they wont blow out the flame Ride with the idol Like a creature on display Tied to the bottom of a cage Oh yeah yeah Ride with the idol But it wont turn out the same I know they wont blow out the flame (fade)
