Imagine this, a kiss from a stranger
Making up to someone that you never even met
Holding hands with a man on the subway train before you even introduce yourself

I had a lover, I left her for another
Or maybe it was she who left me for another girl
I can’t quite recall and I thought you’d be appalled
But you told me it was all the same to her

Don’t be so sentimental, there’s really nothing new
No need to be so modest, no one will notice you
The game is predetermined, this is a ship of fools
Oh!

And as the sun goes down, the beasts will come around
(No one will save us, no one will save us)
We sing a gallant melody that will haunt you in your sleep
(No one will save us, no!)

And as the night winds down, the monsters gather round
Who will be the first to offer me to the hounds?
“Not me,” the voices all agree, so we all will wait and see

And the beasts will feast like they never done did
Filling up their bellies while they’re licking their lips
And the second that they stop is the cherry on top
Oh we knew what was waiting for us coming on down the line
But we never seemed to mind
‘Til we’re totally out of time

Imagine this, the fist of a rebel
Held up in defiance and thrust into the sky
Pretty soon it’ll spread and take hold of the heads
Of a thousand other simple passersby’s

If there’s one thing that I can depend on
If there is a single thing that I can say I’ve learned

What once had a soul and a purpose and a goal
Will only end up as a logo on a shirt

Don’t be so sentimental, there’s really nothing new
No need to be so modest, no one will notice you
The game is predetermined, this is a ship of fools

And as the sun goes down, the beasts will come around
(No one will save us, no one will save us)
We sing a gallant melody that will haunt you in your sleep
(No one will save us, no!)

And as the night winds down, the monsters gather round
Who will be the first to offer me to the hounds?
“Not me,” the voices all agree, so we all will wait and see

And the beasts will feast like they never done did
Filling up their bellies while they’re licking their lips
And the second they stop is the cherry on top

Oh we knew what was waiting for us coming on down the line
But we never seemed to mind
‘Til we’re totally out of time

And as the sun goes down, the beasts will come around
(No one will save us, no here one will save us)
We sing a gallant melody that will haunt you in your sleep
(No one will save us, oh)

So we will save our own!
