LYRICS: Look across the room, walls of melting steel Watch the candle flicker as walls of steel gleam Watching, waiting, staring, representing life, Cardboard replica of man, framed in wood and steel Home of dust and dirt, reflection of my life Corner web of glow, ideas of tomorrow, Thinking, making sense, surrounding circumstance, Made by man to opter man, but never say a word, ah. Portrait, picture, sing a song, tell a tale to me, Sing a fool of all the rules, they break but cannot see Catch a passing thought, now bring it to the light, Cast a watchful eye, as mother to her son Watching, waiting, staring, burning of (their thoughts) Sacrifice it all you got, to redeem what you have not Portrait, picture, sing a song, tell a tale to me, Sing a fool of all the rules, they break but cannot see. Give a man the effigy hang it on a wall Dress it up in halter The finest made of steel make a common copy send it to the queen Watching lifeless eyes, look down from a wall, Survey the scene below and motionless they cry watching, waiting, staring, giving up the fight made by man to opter man but never say a word
