[Verse 1] I gave him a cigarette
So he opened up his head
The man forever on the corner
He called it his pre-vision: 
Unhorse for me, dear sir
The marble emperor
Defenestrate the king

[Verse 2] The howling waves of people
Crashing through the first blockade
The guards – they washed away
They thundered up the stairwell
Until they reached that golden door
They knocked upon the golden door

[Chorus 1] Knock it down

[Verse 3] The portraits in the hallway
Look better smashed upon the floor
Gaudy baubles – turned to dust
The hatred he brewed within us
Is now crashing loud upon his shore
The vultures returned to roost

[Bridge] What a lovely view
Horizon looks like fire
Open up the window
Let the light in

[Chorus 2] Throw him out [x28] [Outro] What a lovely view
From the window
What a lovely dream
