lyrics

CLAPTRAPDOOR

You've been shortlisted for a visit
From the cynics at the clinic
Take a second of your life
To believe it then begin it
Push to the limit
Kill the lights and leave a minute

There's been a huge mistake
I think you'd better take a look
If I could just have your attention
And then everyone would

The haunted mansion, the life expansion
Plan to change the world again
Lucky if I only get it half done
Spent a lot of time in the midday sun

'Cause I'm not who I claim to be
Now it's been said there's no mystery
Lucan disappeared for good
I guess anyone could

Relax! It's no big deal
Noble fools are standing on the hill
Open up your mind is frozen
The damage done, the big explosion
If you stand still and listen quietly
You can hear them in the pipe dreams
They'll be shedding skins at base camp
And selling sins in tin cans
I'll be in a field and I'll have time to kill

There's been a huge mistake
I think you'd better take a look
If I could just have your attention
And then everyone would

You've been transported to a place
Where the people want to be you
They've waited years
To catch a moment of your life better be good
Disappointed that you can't keep appointments
This is not a dream

Relax! It's no big deal
Noble fools are standing on the hill
Open up your mind is frozen
The damage done, the big explosion
If you stand still and listen quietly
You can hear them in the pipe dreams
They'll be shedding skins at base camp
And selling sins in tin cans
Abandoned in a field when they had time to kill

I'm not who I claim to be
Now it's been said there's no mystery
Lucan disappeared for good
I guess anyone could
