Things Forgotten, Lost Their Time
[Intro]
Juno was mad, he knew he'd been had
So he shot at the sun with a gun
Shot at the sun with a gun
Shot at his wily one only friend
(Love of the S*n)

[Verse 1]
In the gallows or the ghetto (ah-h)
In the town or the meadow
In the billows, even over the sun (ah-h)
Every end of the time is another begun

[Chorus]
You understand mechanical hands are the ruler of everything (ah-ah)
The ruler of everything (ah-ah)
I'm the ruler of everything in the end

(Oooohh, oooooh)
(!mih teG !yawa gninnur s’eh ,tibbarkcaJ a s’eH .oh oh oh oh oh hO)

[Verse 2]
Do you like how I dance? I've got zirconium pants (Weak & Strong &)
Consequential enough to slip you into a trance (Wet & Dry &)
Do you like how I walk? Do you like how I talk? (Right & Wrong &)
Do you like how my face disintegrates into chalk? (Live & Die &)
I have a wonderful wife, I have a powerful job (Sane & Gone &)
She criticizes me for being egocentric (Ha-ha-ha-ha!) (Love & Not &)
(All the &s that we forgot)
You practice your mannerisms into the wall (Oooooh)
If this mirror were clearer I'd be standing so tall (Oooooh)
I saw you slobber over clovers on the side of the hill (Oooooh)
I was observing the birds (circle in for the kill) (Oooooh)
I've been you, I know you, your façade is a scam
You know you're making me cry, this is the way that I am
I've been living a lie, a metamorphical scheme
Detective undercover, brotherhood, objective: obscene
Oh, no, no, oh, yeah
[Bridge]
Just bumped my head and my face turns purple
Running through hurdles, running in circles
Trying to escape from this thing that I fear
Everything seems clear like the end is near
In the rear, I can see the beast getting close
Surrounded by ghosts in a cloud of smoke
The smoke reeks of failure, I don't want to fail
But all the stairwells lead straight to hell
So I'm jumping trap doors in the floor 'fore they floor me
Focus on the love and the light right before me
Walls keep spinning and my path keeps turning
Patience thinning and my calves keep burning
Hotter than a furnace, suddenly I'm learning
Maybe I finally reached the point of no return and
East is North and West is South
I feel like I'ma never get out
I'm trapped
Behind me my ex-girl's chasing me (Do you hear the flibbity jibbity jibber jabber)
In front of me my next girl's facing me (With an, "Oh my god I've got to get out of here or I'll have another)
But I can't cross these enemy lines I'm behind
I can feel the fatigue but I'm dying to shine
But the road winds, I rewind, I rewind
Got to find a new place to hide for the night
Will I ever escape? Boy, I try and I try
Everybody's watching me, I'm dying to get out
In the glass labyrinth, I am the mouse (So give it up and smile)
[Chorus]
You understand mechanical hands are the ruler of everything (ah...)
The ruler of everything (ah...)
I'm the ruler of everything in the end

[Outro]
Without looking down, gliding around (Keep it coming back)
Like a bumbling dragon I fly (And coming back and coming back)
Scraping my face on the sky (Why don't we keep it coming back)
Oh, no, no, oh, yeah (And coming back, and coming back, and coming?)
