Algernon
You won't need these flowers
They've revoked the horrors
Your tragedy
Now ends happily
And I'm sure that they won't be done
Till they fenced off the ledges
And rounded the edges
Of all that goes wrong
For you, Algernon
Gone are the days where you're endlessly racing
Towards Pavlov's reward
Now your maze is replaced by the locked door
You asked for
Oh-oh
That's the way that it goes
I'm sorry you'll never be free
If all that you see is the danger the cage will relieve
And oh-no
That's the path that you chose
A true hedonist indeed
So don't lift a finger, your warden provides all you'll need
But never a key
Oh
But never a key
Oh
♪
Algernon
You're wound up too tightly
So frayed and unsightly
Pulling on your own strings
You're unravelling
How can a cure now be found?
With no outside threat, just a fire in your chest
And you're melting, all over everything
Oh-oh
That's the way that it goes
I'm sorry you'll never be free
If all that you see is the danger the cage will relieve
And oh-no
That's the path that you chose
A true hedonist indeed
So don't lift a finger, your warden provides all you'll need
But never a key
Oh
But never a key
Oh
But never a key
Oh
But never a key
Oh
But never a key
Oh
(But never a key)
But never a key
