Through The Hall

the deep voice said they have arrived
did you decant the special wine
for our dear guest from 2009
completely changed the things tonight

a pinch of powder
will change our night
their visit will set us free
a pinch of powder
will improve our lives
finally will set us free

through the darkening hall
we move and out of sight we keep
what little light what little light
there is along the walls
where the portraits are hanging
high up in the gloom
we are waiting for our guest

this is your world you want to stay
the same forever and a day
but something's changed you can't deny
for someone out there is telling lies

a pinch of powder
will change our night
their visit will set us free
a pinch of powder
will improve our lives
finally will set us free

through the darkening hall
we move and out of sight we keep
what little light what little light
there is along the walls
where the portraits are hanging
high up in the gloom
we are waiting for our guest

silver and gold our guest will bring
sit down and touch the mighty ring
can not await and can't deny
just take a look these hungry eyes

a pinch of powder
will change our night
their visit will set us free
a pinch of powder
will improve our lives
finally will set us free

through the darkening hall
we move and out of sight we keep
what little light what little light
there is along the walls
where the portraits are hanging
high up in the gloom
we are waiting for our guest
