9. Drag Him to the Roof (6:10)
[Verse 1]
They keep looking through the window
A cathode glaze across their eyes
Now that I've been betrayed
I must be well behaved
I'll drink corruption with their lies

[Pre-Chorus]
Why was I hiding out?
What am I running from?
Why are they waiting?
Have I always been the chosen one?

[Chorus]
Drag him to the roof
Just push me over
I've got no better place to be
Drag him to the roof
Let's get it over
It's a perfect day to punish me

[Verse 2]
I wish that lady would defend me
I can't abide by all the laws
I'll buy the magistrate
Can't be a second late
I anxiously await his call

[Pre-Chorus]
Who made this jigsaw puzzle?
Who'll put the pieces back?
Who'll come and get me
When I have fallen through the cracks?

[Chorus]
Drag him to the roof
Just push me over
I've got no better place to be
Drag him to the roof
Let's get it over
It's not a pretty thing to see
Drag him to the roof
Just push me over
I've got no better place to be
Drag him to the roof
Let's get it over
It's a perfect day to punish me

[Instrumental Break 02:32-03:35]

[Pre-Chorus]
Who made this jigsaw puzzle?
Who'll put the pieces back?
Who'll come and get me
When I have fallen through the cracks?
[Chorus]
Drag him to the roof
Just push me over
I've got no better place to be
Drag him to the roof
Let's get it over
It's not a pretty thing to see
Drag him to the roof
Just push me over
I've got no better place to be
Drag him to the roof
Let's get it over
It's not a pretty thing to see
Drag him to the roof, ohohoh
Drag him to the roof
Let's get it over
It's a perfect day to punish me

[Instrumental Outro]
