The Headless Waltz Songtext
von Aurelio Voltaire

As above, so below
Place your bets, which way the head will roll
Made in your image we
Are at least as twisted and mean as thee
′Fore your eyes, what a curious sight
Your children have turned on you
And you say you don't sleep well at night
Well, we′ll take care of that for you

Belle Marie Antoinette
Love the pearls, they'll make a great tourniquet
Never did as you should
And you claimed it was all for our very own good
'Twas a lie, a magnificent lie
Now, your subjects have turned on you
And you claim you have lots on your mind
Well, we′ll take care of that for you


Get that damn thing off the neck
I′m the head of the board, now I'm bored of her head
Sharpen up the blade, boys, what are you waiting for?
Here′s where we all get ahead
Wipe that damn smile off your face
Or we'll lop it off clean with our new guillotine
Sharpen up the blade, boys, what are you waiting for?
Here′s where we all get ahead

All my troubles, all my pain
Stems from this thing that you call a brain
Be my guest, sever me from the source of all my agony
What a shame, I've forgotten my name
Without the use of my brain, and my, bet I′ll sleep well tonight
Without this head of mine

Get this damn thing off my neck
I'm the head of the board, now I'm bored of my head
Sharpen up the blade, boys, what are you waiting for?
Here′s where we all get ahead
Wipe that damn smile off your face
Or we′ll lop it off clean with our new guillotine
Sharpen up the blade, boys
Bells are now tolling, soon heads will be rolling

Please sir, for me, sir, won't you see if you see, sir?
Oh, dear, I dread, I seem to have lost my head
I think I left it about
It fell to the ground, and I kicked it around
Has anyone seen, no need to be mean, my bloody, fat, ugly head?


Please miss, for me, sis
Won′t you see if you see, sis?
It's got black hair, and it′s kickin' about in the square
I′m really not totally sure, but I think that it might've rolled into the stores
Has anyone seen, no need to be mean, my bloody, fat, ugly head?
