Curtains Falling

All around you there are pictures
But you don't notice
Like Queen Mary making love to Uncle Otis
Bells are chiming, keep on listening
You will hear them
And push the button, cry for help
And you're dead

Curtains falling
Someone tries to understand
No one answers
A gun is put into your hand
The queen is innocent
She isn't even dead, you know
It was an accident
Not her fault, they all say so

The sunbeams swimming in the treetops
Oh, can't you see them?
They all got love, they all got life
They all got freedom
People laughing, people crying
Are people joking?
And there's Queen Mary with her head in a bun

Curtains falling
Someone tries to understand
No one answers
A gun is put into your hand
The queen is innocent
She isn't even dead, you know
It was an accident
Not her fault, they all say so

In the morning people smile and carry roses
And in the evening they all come home with bloody noses
People laughing, people crying
Are people joking?
And push the button, cry for help
And you're dead

(Push the button, cry for help)
(And you're dead)
(Push the button, cry for help)
(And you're dead)
(Push the button, cry for help)
(And you're dead)
(Push the button, cry for help)
(And you're dead)
