Return To Oz Lyrics - Scissor Sisters - Scissor Sisters

Once there was a man, 

Who had a little too much, 

Time on his hands, 

He never stopped to think, 

That he was getting older. 

When his night came to an end, 

He tried to grasp for his last friend, 

And pretend, 

That he could wish himself health, 

On a four-leaf clover. 

He said is this the Return to Oz? 

The grass is dead 

The gold is brown 

And the sky has claws. 

there's a wind-up man 

Walking round and round. 

What once was Emerald City's 

Now a Crystal Town 

It's three o'clock in the morning, 

You get a phone call 

From the queen with a hundred heads 

She says that they're all dead 

She tried the last one on 

It couldn't speak, fell off 

And now she just wanders the halls 

Thinking nothing 

Thinking nothing at all 

She says is this the Return to Oz? 

The grass is dead 

The gold is brown 

And the sky has claws. 

there's a wind-up man 

Walking round and round. 

What once was Emerald City's 

Now a Crystal Town 

The wheelies are cutting pavement 

And the Skeksis at the rave met 

To hide deep inside 

Their sunken faces 

And their wild rolling eyes 

But their callous words reveal 

That they can no longer feel 

Love or sex appeal 

The patchwork girl has come to cinch the deal 

To return to Oz 

We've fled the world 

With smiles and clenching jaws 

Please help me friend from coming down 

I've lost my place and now it can't be found 

Is this the Return to Oz? 

The grass is dead 

The gold is brown 

And the sky has claws. 

there's a wind-up man 

Walking round and round. 

What once was Emerald City's 

Now a Crystal Town
