Lyrics

0:07Once there was a man
0:10Who had a little too much
0:14Time on his hands
0:15He never stopped to think
0:17That he was getting older
0:21But when his night came to an end
0:25He tried to grasp for his last friend
0:28And pretend that he could wish himself health
0:31On a four leaf clover
0:36He said is this the return to Oz?
0:39The grass is dead
0:41The gold is brown
0:42And the sky has claws
0:47There's a wind up man walking round and round
0:50What once was Emerald City
0:53Is now a crystal town
0:59Three o'clock in the morning
1:01You get a phone call from the queen
1:04With a hoard of heads
1:07She says that they're all dead
1:12She tried the last one on
1:14It couldn't speak, fell off
1:16And now she just wanders the halls
1:19Thinking nothing,
1:22Thinking nothing at all
1:26She said is this the return to Oz?
1:30The grass is dead
1:32The gold is brown
1:33And the sky has claws
1:38There's a wind up man walking round and round
1:42What once was Emerald City
1:44Is now a crystal town
2:22The wheelie's are cutting pavement
2:25And the Skeksis at the rave meant to hide,
2:30Deep inside their sunken faces and their wild rolling eyes,
2:37But their callous words reveal
2:41That they can no longer feel
2:44Love or sex appeal
2:47The patchwork girl has come to cinch the deal
2:52To return to Oz, we fled the world with smiles and clenching jaws
3:01Please help me friend from coming down
3:05I've lost my place and now it can't be found
3:13Is this the return to Oz?
3:15The grass is dead,
3:17The gold is brown
3:19And the sky has claws.
3:23There's a wind-up man walking round and round
3:27What once was emerald city
3:29Is now a crystal town
Once there was a man
Who had a little too much
Time on his hands
He never stopped to think
That he was getting older
But when his night came to an end
He tried to grasp for his last friend
And pretend that he could wish himself health
On a four leaf clover
He said is this the return to Oz?
The grass is dead
The gold is brown
And the sky has claws
There's a wind up man walking round and round
What once was Emerald City
Is now a crystal town
Three o'clock in the morning
You get a phone call from the queen
With a hoard of heads
She says that they're all dead
She tried the last one on
It couldn't speak, fell off
And now she just wanders the halls
Thinking nothing,
Thinking nothing at all
She said is this the return to Oz?
The grass is dead
The gold is brown
And the sky has claws
There's a wind up man walking round and round
What once was Emerald City
Is now a crystal town
The wheelie's are cutting pavement
And the Skeksis at the rave meant to hide,
Deep inside their sunken faces and their wild rolling eyes,
But their callous words reveal
That they can no longer feel
Love or sex appeal
The patchwork girl has come to cinch the deal
To return to Oz, we fled the world with smiles and clenching jaws
Please help me friend from coming down
I've lost my place and now it can't be found
Is this the return to Oz?
The grass is dead,
The gold is brown
And the sky has claws.
There's a wind-up man walking round and round
What once was emerald city
Is now a crystal town
