lyrics

Hello portrait town
I can't hear a sound above the violins
Ain't no need to frown
As the black and white utopians
Don't try to slip a drink
You'll be sure to sink if you test your fate
You need the penthouse suite
As you tap your feet into heaven's gates

Hold on to what you've been told
Stick with the old, dont ask questions
But hold on to all of your gold
There ain't no one but you
Hold on to history
Say, if it worked for them itll work for me
Wait, hold on 'cause I don't think
That all your talkin is true
You're floatin' proud off the ground
In your big hot air balloon

See there's a world out there livin'
cold and scared i think theres room for ya
But you would never dare
leave your cozy white suburbia
You can't see them bleed
even in your six inch heals
But at least you say your prayers
before your three course meals

Sit up straight, be great, there ain't room for failin'
In this place, no grace, that's just wishful thinkin'
Open wide, don't cry, you will thank me later
When you're blind you'll find life is so much better

"I fly by the moon in my hot air balloon"
They sing, "I fly by the moon in my hot air balloon"

You think you're so much better
But you can't see past your mirror
You can't pretend forever
Your pretentious souls will wither
