Mate Where Do You Get Off?, Pt. 1
When you threw your blood to the sky
Did you stop to wonder why?
When you stepped aboard that train
Did you hear your daughter's name?
When you flicked the switch of fate
Did your see your mother's face?
When you threw it to the sky
Did you stop, stop to wonder why?
Father now a mother's world is in half
She's like the walk without the staff
Now she leans towards the wind
Just trying to feel him
And if I stop to wonder still
Of the drive of good and ill
Which is either but hunger and thirst?
Which comes last and which comes first?
Which comes first?
Bang a billion pieces fly
A million reasons where and why
The fire further inflamed
The hatred deeper engaged
And who are you to cancel me?
I'm no chessboard pawn born to smash clean
For if you knock my castle mate
On your soul will haunt my name
Will haunt my name
Mate where do you get off?
Mate where do you get off?
Mate where do you get off?
Mate where do you get off?
Mate where do you get off?
Mate where do you get off?
Mate where do you get off?
Mate where do you get off?
Did you stop to wonder why?
When you stepped aboard that train
Did you hear your daughter's name?
When you flicked the switch of fate
Did your see your mother's face?
When you threw it to the sky
Did you stop, stop to wonder why?
Father now a mother's world is in half
She's like the walk without the staff
Now she leans towards the wind
Just trying to feel him
And if I stop to wonder still
Of the drive of good and ill
Which is either but hunger and thirst?
Which comes last and which comes first?
Which comes first?
Bang a billion pieces fly
A million reasons where and why
The fire further inflamed
The hatred deeper engaged
And who are you to cancel me?
I'm no chessboard pawn born to smash clean
For if you knock my castle mate
On your soul will haunt my name
Will haunt my name
Mate where do you get off?
Mate where do you get off?
Mate where do you get off?
Mate where do you get off?
Mate where do you get off?
Mate where do you get off?
Mate where do you get off?
Mate where do you get off?
