The Ventriloquist Lyrics by Lower Definition

The Greatest of All Lost Arts

2008

We hide behind the gates
It's daylight when they come
Afraid to test what we've done
Tamed by the fire, they hang on a wire
Tonight, they'll have you bandaged round the eyes
Tonight, they watch from the sides

They sing familiar cries
From the sides
They watch with closed minds
And breathe on every line with impeccable time
They watch from the sides
They watch from the sides

They know we can see right through
Fingers broken and bruised
They speak with frail sighs
And their throats are dry and ravished of greatness

They open their arms with jaws of life
They're bandaged, bandaged round the eyes
And all I can hear are the cries
It haunts me at times

While animatronic puppets sing stupid lullabies

Afraid to test what we've done when they come
Shunned by the light
In awe
They know we can see right through
Fingers broken and bruised
And books deprived and ravished of pages
They're all filled with lies
I feel neglected
Bandaged round the eyes

You do things to me
You do this to me
You pull the strings
You pull the strings
It haunts me at times
It haunts me at times
You pull the strings
You pull the strings
It haunts me at times
It haunts me at times
You pull the strings
You pull the strings
It haunts me at times
It haunts me at times
