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
