Judas at the Opera

Lyrics

[Tobias Sammet:] Darkness has covered the opera house Something is wrong you can feel There's a devil in disguise A traitor has taken the dais Catalogue people spend a pitying gaze What can a man do in such a case Aristocratic experts on art vomit all over the place And they wished I'd be doomed eternally [Michael Kiske:] Forever French-frying You'd love to see me dying Who's let the peacock in To rock the house - opera house You want me French-fried and You'd love to see me fired and Then kill the Judas in the opera house Opera house [Tobias Sammet:] Huntsmen are rushing around After the peacock oh, no! The baton is pink and it's clear: He is a queer He likes it into his rear [Michael Kiske:] Rumors arise he is from outer space They're out for the bounty And still they're amazed Aristocratic lemmings with a highsnobiety leer Get the chef to make peacock fillet steaks [Tobias Sammet:] Forever French-frying You'd love to see me dying Who's let the peacock in To rock the house - opera house You want me French-fried and You'd love to see me fired and Then kill Judas in the opera house Opera house We came from a solar system far away Facing your goggle eyes To protect this jolly bedlam from decay Facing your goggle eyes Who do you think you are To think you're of a better class? Who do you think you are To expect us to kiss your ass? [Michael Kiske:] We've come to chase the monkey off your back Facing your goggle eyes And we expected some may sound an attack Facing your goggle eyes [Tobias Sammet:] Who do you think you are To think you're of a higher class? Who do you think you are To expect us to kiss your ass? [Michael Kiske:] We're gonna be Taking the chance - taking the chance To get you darting a glance - darting a glance At us starting to prance - starting the dance Of the oddballs [Tobias Sammet:] And you're invited Taking the chance - taking the chance To get you darting a glance - darting a glance At us starting to prance - starting the dance Of the oddballs [Michael Kiske:] Frankenstein is out of control Donkey has been given a soul Flamboyantly he's playing his song They can't get it [Tobias Sammet:] Nut head he is going insane The screwball is igniting the flame Pandora's box has opened, behold Madness rising [Both:] You say treason but I tell you There ain't no reason We just have our share We don't care as long as we're alive Love our sound and love to hear: [Michael Kiske:] Where's the chef to make Judas-fillet-steak? Forever French-frying You'd love to see me dying Who's let the peacock in To rock the house - opera house You want me French-fried and You'd love to see me fired and [Tobias Sammet:] Then kill Judas in the opera house Opera house Judas at the opera Judas at the opera
