With her warm and loving eye
The Queen of Darkness tells her lies
And from our knees we wave goodbye,
Pray for what can never be,
Turn the tube on just to see
Our skies going brown and hazy
And all the simple men going crazy.

She travels with a restless crew,
Uses words to hide from view
And when we ask her what is new
She just gives us all a smile
And we march in single file
With the fools and with the lazy
And all the simple men going crazy.

The joker tells us this ain't bad
But the King of Hearts is going mad
With the best dream that he's ever had
In several hundred ages.
They've put steel doors on all his cages
And his skies are brown and hazy
And all his simple men are crazy.

The juggler dances through our sleep
Snaps her fingers to make us weep
Tells us that we're hers to keep
And the fire's growing brighter
There's no one here to fight her
And her skies are brown and hazy
And all her simple men are crazy.

So hold the mirror and say a prayer
To the Queen of Black Despair
And to the fools that aren't aware
That she doesn't hold the key
Yeah, there's nothing there to see
Cause her skies are brown and hazy
And all these simple men? They're all crazy!
