[Intro]

We are the four horsemen of the rock apocalypse

Leaders and saviours of the wild ride to oblivion and ecstasy

One, two, three


[Verse 1]

Collect your head, collect yourself

Collect your severance

What on earth will you tell the wife and kids?

You pace the hallway until your paranoia peels

(Off your feet)

We're only flesh and bone

(In disbelief you'll see so clearly)


[Verse 2]

Burn all your clothes and all your photographs

And embrace the concrete

(You'll never feel it coming)


[Refrain]

I'll see you there

On the hinge of your life decision

Are we going nowhere till we're gone?

Shaking in our great collapse

We are


[Bridge]

The calming collection

Just breathe in and out with me

Can we escape without the effigies?

Penniless isn't worthlessness

So just for now, spare your tears of your empty pockets


[Refrain]

I'll see you there

On the hinge of your life decision

Are we going nowhere till we're gone?

Shaking in our great collapse

We are
