Now you’ve hung your hat, and you’ve seen the writing on the wall Just sit back and relax, we'll tell you all about the fall Of the greatest mind, the ol' director pulling at the strings Who thought the fool was Abel, and the wiser man was Cain It's the Big, Bad, Clinically Mad, the greatest show you've ever seen Yeah, we're Deep, Down, Below the Ground, where only projectors gleam A world of Black and White, a place of magic putting life into your dreams And when the credits roll, we'll be look

"Just a pencil and a dream," a modest proclamation of his goal But no-one saw when it was spinnin' out of control Every soul, every wish, all for one man's bliss 'Cuz all the good intentions don't mean a lick In the pursuit of it, you still wind up down below Well, the pipes they got a-pumpin', The beat of a creator’s heart Or that's what he had told them: Just a "sacrifice for art" And the walls, they turned to paper And the ink began to fill our veins
Oh, it's easy to rationalize pain to the insane! Oh! It’s the Big, Bad, Clinically Mad, the greatest show you've ever seen Yeah, we're Deep, Down, Below the Ground, without a hope to be redeemed The only Man Who Saw the ego twisted behind the scenes Was the one who set the whole production in full swing WHO'S BEHIND THE CURTAIN?

Oh! It's the Big, Bad, Clinically Mad, the greatest show you've ever seen Yeah, we're Deep, Down, Below the Ground, where only projectors gleam A world of Black and White, a place of magic putting life into your dreams
And when the credits roll, we'll be lookin' close to see Oh! It’s the Big, Bad, Clinically Mad, the greatest show you’ve ever seen... Take a Wild Guess who the hero of the tale is gonna be... A world of Black and White, where it don't matter why you left or where you’ve been... You gotta be a man, and take the credit for co-writing the scene... Who’s behind the curtain? Well, well, well... if it isn't my dear old friend. Don't be such a stranger, old buddy. Ahahahahahaha!
