lyrics

Baby says i'm the phantom engineer,
I only ride in the night,
i gotta heart made of stone,
and it's unseen to your sight,
well i was born to keep you all torn, to make you curse the light of day,
and i won't leave until the fools believe cos the fools all gotta price to pay,
maybe i don't need to deceive you, mistreat you, mislead you, or beat you, cos baby I don't need you,
you and all the pain that you bring,
said you were a looker and God knows you ain't no saint,
and I'm going to tear up this town,
take each person prisoner and let all the children down,
they won't even have the chance to scream,
I gotta keep you away,
These situations are causing frustrations that leaving me deaf to your words,
low expectations, no motivations, the next generation is turned,
go pop your pills, go out make the deals that tend to make you feel somewhat sane,
your lack of tact, it all comes back,
right to the back of my brain,
don't be concerned about things that you've heard,
be more disturbed by the things that you've learned,
about him, and them and your lover right now,
played me for a fool but I got you all figured out,
yeah well you'd better believe,
the devil's coming back for him, for you, and for me,
you won't even have a chance to scream,
I gotta keep you away,
Ryan was a friend done lost his head,
Elaine was insane and too wild to tame,
but now they're both living in a world of self doubt,
played me for a fool but i got them figured out,
and time keeps passing by,
those two snakes are dead in my mind's eye,
they won't even have the chance to scream,
