Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If you feel that it's real
I'm on trial
And I'm here in your prison
Like a coin in your mint
I am dented and spent
With high treason
[Verse 2]
Through a glass eye, your throne
Is the one danger zone
Take me to the pilot for control
Take me to the pilot of your soul
[Verse 3]
(Take me to the pilot)
Lead me through the chamber
(Take me to the pilot)
I am but a stranger
(Take me to the pilot)
Lead me through the chamber
(Take me to the pilot)
I am but a stranger
[Verse 4]
(Na, na, na) Na, na, na
(Na, na, na) Na, na, na, na, na, na
(Na, na, na) Na, na, na
(Na, na, na) Na, na, na, na, na, na
[Verse 5]
Well I know he's not old
And I'm told
I'm told he's a virgin
For he may be she
But I'm told
And I'm never, never for certain
[Verse 6]
Through a glass eye, your throne
Is the one danger zone
Take me to the pilot for control
Take me to the pilot of your soul
[Verse 7]
(Take me to the pilot)
Lead me to the chamber
(Take me to the pilot)
I am but a stranger
(Take me to the pilot)
Lead me to the chamber
(Take me to the pilot)
I am but a stranger
[Verse 8]
(Na, na, na) Na, na, na
(Na, na, na) Na, na, na, na, na, na
(Na, na, na) Na, na, na
(Na, na, na) Na, na, na, na, na, na
[Verse 9]
(Take me to the pilot)
Lead me to the chamber
(Take me to the pilot)
I am but a stranger
(Take me to the pilot)
Lead me through the chamber
(Take me to the pilot)
I am but a stranger
[Verse 10]
(Na, na, na, na, na, na) Take me, take me
(Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na) Oh, na, na, na, na, na
(Na, na, na, na, na, na) Take me, take me
(Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na) Na, na, na, na, na, na
