Return To Oz

Lyrics

Once there was a man
 Who had a little too much
 Time on his hands
 He never stopped to think
 About getting older
 But when his night came to an end
 He tried to grasp for his last friend
 And pretend
 That he could wish himself health
 On a four-leaf clover
 He said is this the return to Oz?
 The grass is dead
 The gold is brown
 And the sky has claws
 There's a wind-up man
 Walking round and round
 What once was Emerald City's
 Now a crystal town
 Three o'clock in the morning
 You get a phone call
 From the queen with a hundred heads
 She says that they're all dead
 She tried the last one on
 It couldn't speak, fell off
 And now she just wanders the halls
 Thinking nothing
 Thinking nothing at all
 She said is this the return to Oz?
 The grass is dead
 The gold is brown
 And the sky has claws
 There's a wind-up man
 Walking round and round
 What once was Emerald City's
 Now a crystal town
 The wheelies are cutting pavement
 And the Skeksis at the rave meant
 ♪
 To hide deep inside
 Their sunken faces
 And their wild rolling eyes
 But their magic words reveal
 That they can no longer feel
 Love or sex appeal
 The patchwork girl has come to cinch the deal
 Do return to Oz
 We've fled the world
 With smiles and clenching jaws
 Please help me friend from coming down
 ♪
 I've lost my place and now it can't be found
 Is this the return to Oz?
 The grass is dead
 The gold is brown
 And the sky has claws
 There's a wind-up man
 Walking round and round
 What once was Emerald City's
 Now a crystal town
