Hanger Cliff Lyrics

"Whole house freeze!"







It was a Thursday I stepped to the club, there she was



Draped in a burgundy dress, silhouetted superbly



Curved indeed, she started staring in my direction



Luring and urging seductively, body language instructing me



I offered her a drink instead she took a cup of tea



And then I lied about my luxury lifestyle



I said "So who you be? You looking kind of tight, gal



I would love to see you in a nightgown"



She said "They call me the Dragon Queen and I come from Tibet



I'm calm in the face of pressure and you'll never see me sweat



I've come to your country in search of a lost Scroll



That contains directions to a hidden village comprised of gold"



I looked at her confused and said "But why have you told me this?"



She said the description that I fit



Was that of the Chosen One who'd go beyond



Then slipped a concoction in my drink



Immediately set my consciousness adrift?



Now I'm in that zone dwelling, I woke in a warehouse tied to a chair



With an abundance of flair surrounding me in a circular angle



Glared up at the Dragon Queen's lair, wasn't imagining a thing



Her steps on the stairs had a magic Gleam, glowed brightly



To prepare me for my journey a Sword was hovering towards me



Plus garlic from the Keepers of the Gate who bore all the secrets and take



Care of trespassers, but at last it's prophesied that I would gain



Access to a cultural dynasty buried and seize and capture the Scroll



Massive helicopters patrolled the rooftops, strapped in



Began travelling into the darkness, knew not of what awaited



Thought of a way to get out of it, just then the bottom gave way



I began falling and gave it ten seconds, pulled the cord on my parachute



Landed surrounded by a herd of wild barracudas, lions



The sounds of the wild kingdom piercing like a siren



Was I entering near the mere mortal life span's end?



Defiantly I stood boldly as they began closing in



And time seemed to be moving rapidly just then?



"Whole house freeze!"







Just then I pulled the Sword and somehow



It affected all the creatures as they stepped back and bowed



And the same Glow that I seen in the Sword I seen in the eyes of the Lion



Who began leading me in a specific direction as if trying to tell me
something



Just over the horizon, the same creatures who had been described



Appeared in statue form but their eyes scoped



And as I approached the gate they began to break open and cried



"AFTER YEARS WE HAVE FINALLY BEEN AWAKENED!"



The assault was on, I got knocked to the ground by one



Shocked in an unorthodox form boxing



Throwing an abnormal proportion of body blows, karate chops



And drop kicks, plunged struggling deeper into the swamp



Then I grabbed my Sword, the garlic put it around my neck



Saw that it was draining all of their energy and then with a swing



Off with their heads!



The gates slowly and mysteriously opened



So curiously I moseyed in with intensity focusing on my objective



Spider webs the size of king-size beds



Fell into a secret passage not knowing to where it lead



Just then the same Light beamed brightly and in the distance



At that instance, lo and behold, the hidden Scroll!



And just as I thought my mission was over



I could feel the Dragon Queen breathing heavily over my shoulder







As she began to transform and metamorphosise



She took on an assortment of legs, arms, heads and eyes



And sprouted two horns and began to breathe fire



So once again I grabbed my trusty Sword but to my astonishment



She burned it to a crisp turned and grasped the Scroll



And exited much faster than secreted gas, I'm gasping



Clasp full of flames cast in my direction



I saw my whole life flash and the possibility of death



And a casket passed into the ground, pound for pound, astounding



How could I survive and last another round inside this madness?







"Whole house freeze!"
