Citadel Lyrics - Legendary Pink Dots

Blacklight corridors of power, lost without a map 

We skipped the tripwires, searched for hours 

Tiptoed through the traps 

We slid through empty rooms with white walls, crystal chandeliers 

Carpets we could drown in, bells ringing in my ears 

We slipped through borders, skipped the lasers murmuring a code 

We'd wade through holds, we'd dodge patrols 

Swim through sewers, walked on coals 

We climbed the scaffold - hell, they even left the rope 

We saw our spinning friends descend - choked 

Through passages we danced 

We glanced at fat men smoking fat cigars 

Who spun their webs on screens 

Through telegrams in trays 

Candy soldiers raised the table 

Wearing labels, muttering curses 

Under sheep's' heads, they were naked 

From their collars to their (?)cotton socks

Björk Returns With Hallucinogenic New Video For 'The Gate' 

Listen To Taylor Swift's New Song 'Call It What You Want' 

And every handshake gave a shock, a buzz, a charge 

We saw them stamp with stars with sugar knives 

Then they fell into vats of lard 

We watched but kept on moving higher? 

Higher through the hall of two way mirrors 

I spied a boy scout shackled to a chair 

Could heard the whip crack "in the mood" 

Made a parting in his hair 

But still he dared to bait his master 

Until the red wheels rolled from room to room to room 

We padded past his tomb and kicked a door down 

It was the door that said 'no entry' 

In the lift we flicked a switch and flew to floor 666 

Photos 

But no one stood there waiting 

No guards stood in our path 

There was just a window wide open and a note pinned to a chair 

It said, "Welcome, friends! You passed the test 

And I'm glad you could make it 

From here you watch the world go by and 

Doesn't it look sad? 

And, like me before you, I'm quite sure that you'll also take a dive so 

Come to daddy 

Come to daddy 

Come to daddy
