Oh Toreador Lyrics

Out of the gate
The bull and the bait
I was amazed
I was amazed
Oh toreador
A heady state
Of popular
Holding off
On modern thought

Unshackle the weight
Unloose and castrate the man
Capital M
Unshackle the weight
Unloose and castrate the man

Bright coloured steer
You're covered
Redder than flame
Your wounds won't heal
Find pattern
Permanent stain
Why do we
Fall in love
With old ways?
Bright colours
Steer your palette
But not your paint

Why celebrate
The claims of harvest
To provoke?
Can't walk away
From the gang
Among the herd
Oh toreador
I was amazed!
But maybe not
Oh toreador
I was afraid
Had sedition lost its words?

Unshackle the weight
Unloose and castrate the man
Capital M
Unshackle the weight
Unloose and castrate the man

Bright coloured steer
You're covered
Redder than flame
Your wounds won't heal
Find pattern
Permanent stain
Why do we
Fall in love
With old ways?
Bright colours
Steer your palette
But not your paint

Bright coloured steer
You're covered
Redder than flame
Your wounds won't heal
Find pattern
Permanent stain
Why do we
Fall in love
With old ways?
Bright colours
Steer your palette
But not your paint
