Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I never lie
To myself tonight
Rose-tinted eyes
Color my sorrow
A shade of wine
[PreChorus]
Bye-bye, black balloon
See you real soon
Wave bye-bye (Bye-bye)
[Chorus]
Oh, why you so sad?
What have they done?
Forget those mindless baboons
They're off playing God
Copycats in cheap suits are playing it safe
While cannibals of bad news consume a parade
[Bridge]
Is it wonderful?
[Bridge]
Kalopsia
Kalopsia
Kalopsia
Kalopsia
Kalopsia
Kalopsia
[Verse 2]
Far, far from shore
Land of nightmares
Gone forevermore
And I love you more
Than I can control
[PreChorus]
I don't even try
Why would I?
[Chorus]
Oh, why the long face?
You've got it all wrong
Forget the rat in the race
We'll choke-chain them all
Fates favor the ones who help themselves
The rest feel the sting of the lash
As they row the boat
To Hell
[Outro]
Row
