[Verse 1]
So I arrived, naked and cold
A welcomed change from the abeyance of a ghost town catacomb
No need for counsel, I appreciate the time, I'm not alone
([?])
There were days these child eyes
Would overlook the ugliness and fantasize
I found my heart for the first time and I awakened in me
I left myself to navigate and oh I felt control
Oh

[Chorus 1]
Who is the crowd that peers through the cage
As we perform herе upon the stage?
Herе we go

[Verse 2]
As the boy became a man
In came a calm sophistication I can hardly understand
So lost in ego, didn't notice when the time had slipped away
(This is a house of [?])
Jesus Christ was born to die
Leave it to man to levitate his own to idolize
We're simply sociopaths with no communication, baby
I see your angle but we differ from our points of view
O2, I want to hear you sing it to me
[Chorus 2: Crowd; M. Shadows]
Who is the crowd that peers through the cage
As we perform here upon the stage?
Tell me a lie in a beautiful way
I believe in answers, just not today

[Guitar Solo]

[Addressing crowd]
Oh, London, how you doing this fine evening?
This is the second show, there ain't gonna be no fucking hangover tonight, you ready to have some fun with us?
Then I wanna see those lighters and cell phones in the air for a little bit of calm before the storm tonight

[Guitar Solo]

[Addressing crowd]
I love this fuckin' city, look around, you look beautiful London

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Hope my wheels don't abandon me now
Seein' that I'm out here alone
I'm runnin' out of fight
And the wind speaks a comforting voice
Guiding me to her arms
Mother, I'm alright
It took the birth of sin to snake-rattle the mind
Before a blow to the head
By the gavel of time, don't wake up
Can't you wake up?
When did the walking apes decide that nuclear war
Was now the only solution for them keeping the score?
Just wake up
Can't you wake up?
(You do know this is just a simulation, don’t you?)
[Chorus 2]
Who is the crowd that peers through the cage
As we perform here upon the stage?
Tell me a lie in a beautiful way
I believe in answers, just not today
Oh

[Instrumental Outro]
