I just love Companion. When I see a song so full of joy, I just have to find some way to capture it. And twist it subtly into something unrecognizable.
Once upon a time there was an ordinary man,
Part of no one’s life, part of no one’s brilliant plan.
Then you took me unawares.
You tipped me for the pizza, and then you tipped me down the stairs.
You can halt the turning of the earth.
You can judge each pathetic life for what it’s worth.
And I have never felt a thrill
Like the day that you first broke me to your will!
| Chorus: |
And we’ll try to take over the world. (Henchmen to be hypnotized.) Try to take over the world. (Brainwashed and lobotomized.) Try to take over the world. (Break the laws of God and man.) Try to take over the world. (All part of my master plan.) With a torch in hand and an evil grin, You opened the door and you locked me in. Whatever you wish, I must obey, The minion of the man who seized the day. |
Now I dust your jars with all the heads that speak.
I never imagined just what horrors you can wreak!
Lightning, test tube, blade and gun:
All these things are evil, and evil is fun!
If it isn’t allowed, you ask why not.
When your plan is unspeakable, you talk a lot.
You’re the university’s wayward son.
You take my hand, but replace it, as soon as you’re done!
| Chorus: |
And we’ll try to take over the world. (Laughed at once by all my peers.) Try to take over the world. (Plotting my revenge for years.) Try to take over the world. (Fools that doubt my sanity.) Try to take over the world. (Let them live until they see.) With a torch in hand and an evil grin, You opened the door and you locked me in. Whatever you wish, I must obey, The minion of the man who seized the day. |
You’re unbalanced and maniacal, obsessed and quite insane.
Yet you love creating creatures with a man’s recycled brain.
There’s loneliness in genius, no one’s fit to be your friend,
But there’s me, at your feet, til the end.
I lurk in the shadows that the sconces cast.
The dungeon lasts a lifetime, but the sword fight went so fast.
I stare at the gore; you laugh to hear him scream.
The secret of the castle is, it’s really hard to clean.
And when the wolves are at the door,
I fetch the bag of wolf chow and dole out a little more.
They licked my hand as if they knew
We’re all united by our love for you.
| Chorus: |
And we’ll try to take over the world. (One man’s pleasure’s one man’s pain.) Try to take over the world. (Kill him and extract the brain.) Try to take over the world. (Six-foot long rotisserie.) Try to take over the world. (Helplessness and misery.) With a torch in hand and an evil grin, You opened the door and you locked me in. Whatever you wish, I must obey, The minion of the man who seized the day. Try to take over the world. (Nothing is unthinkable.) Try to take over the world. (Nothing is unthinkable.) Try to take over the world. (Nothing is unthinkable.) Try to take over the world. (Nothing is unthinkable.) |
