Turning back the clocks to the time and place
Perming flowers in your hair
Enchantment on your face
Playing in smokey clubs full of drunken fools
Throwing beer bottles on the stage
Thinking it was cool
Addicted to the water that puts me to sleep
Will I ever wake from the deep
The tour was jinxed when the lights went out
In a storm of angry shouts
The show’s been called off
The power’s been cut off
The tour has ended
The deal suspended
The rooster has been fried for dinner
Cooked alive for the last sinner
It made no difference where they’d been
Death walked in front of them
Looking for an escape to eternity
Sleeping for years might provide the opportunity
Addicted to the water that puts me to sleep
Will I ever wake from the deep
The tour was jinxed when the lights went out
In a storm of angry shouts
The show’s been called off
The power’s been cut off
The tour has ended
The deal suspended
The organ was lifted onto the stage with a crane
Chessman showed no signs of being insane
The scarey voice of Vincent Price
Who dared him to roll the dice
And don’t even think twice
Addicted to the water that puts me to sleep
Will I ever awake from the deep
The tour was jinxed when the lights went out
In a storm of angry shouts
The show’s been called off
The power’s been cut off
The tour has ended
The deal suspended
