[Verse 1]
In the halls and in the churches
They were preening on their lofty perches
And holes in their conspiracies
And they were looking right at me

[Chrous]
Come play Tempest with me
Or maybe Millipede
We can while away the hours
Away from the hordes
I've almost reached the yellow boards

[Verse 2]
I hear the doors of institutions
Opening and slamming shut
They were desperate for solutions
They were drowning in their elocutions

[Chorus]
Come play Tempest with me
Or maybe Centipede
We can hang out in the mall
It's where I feel at home
And I don't want to be alone
[Chorus]
Come play Tempest with me
Or maybe Centipede
We can hang out in the mall
Away from the hordes
I've almost reached those nasty green boards
