The Headless Waltz Lyrics - Almost Human - Voltaire

As above, so below, place your bets 

Which way the head will roll 

Made in your image we are at least 

As twisted and mean as thee 

'Fore your eyes, what a curious site 

Your children have turned on you 

And you say, you don't sleep well at night 

Well, we'll take care of that for you 

Belle Marie Antoinette 

"Love the pearls!" 

They'll make a great tourniquet 

Never did as you should and you claim 

It was all for our veryown good 

'Twas a lie, a magnificent lie 

Now, your subjects have turned on you 

And you claim you had lots on your mind 

Well, we'll take care of that for you 

:::Chorus:::V 

Get that (this) damn thing off her (my) neck 

I'm the head of the board now I'm bored of her (my) head 

Sharpen up the blade boys, what are you waiting for? 

Here's where we all get ahead! 

Wipe that damn smile off your face 

Or we'll lop it off clean with our new guillotine 

Sharpen up the blade boys, what are you waiting for? 

Here's where we all get ahead! 

(Bells are now tolling, soon heads will be rolling) 

::: 

All my troubles, all my pain 

Stems from this thing that you call a "brain" 

Be my guest, sever me from the source 

Of all my agony 

What a shame, I've forgotten my name 

Without the use of my brain and 

"My, bet I'll sleep well tonight!" 

Without this head of mine 

:::Chorues, with the words in parentheses substituting the previous word or phrase::: 

Please Sir, for me, Sir, 

Won't you see if you see, Sir? 

Oh dear, I dread 

I seem to have lost my head 

I think I left it about 

It fell to the ground 

And I kicked it around 

Has anyone seen, no need to be mean, 

My bloody, fat, ugly head? 

Please Miss, for me, Sis, 

Won't you see if you see, Sis 

It's got black hair 

And it's kickin' about in the square 

I'm really not totally sure but 

I think that it might have rolled into the sewer. 

Has anyone seen, no need to be mean, 

My bloody, fat, ugly head?
