Jesse Dangerously - A Secret Gay Film on Its 30th Birthday Lyrics

I wish they WOULD come and take you away, right now
I wish the goblins WOULD come and take you away
RIGHT NOW
I had a dream I could find my way to the centre of the Labyrinth
Dance Magic Dance! and when it's time to pay the piper, I'd just hide away in a quiet place
Try and escape; I didn't realize for days that I was wide awake
In dire straits, I tried to wake up. Am I on stage
I didn't recognize the face behind the make-up; I am fake
Frightened of what lies in wait, I spy a face in an iron gate
It lies and I can't break through it but I'm not going to take its advice - no way
Helping hands cling and surround, talk, and shapeshift into mocking faces; bringing me down
There's no place like home? That's just hot air
Trapped and I don't know how I got there, it's not FAIR
Go undercover deeper. Guess I need a plan
Am I my brother's keeper? Yes, it seems I am
Speaking of lost boys; I am Peter Pan - when I fall, I Never Land
But the clock stays ticking like the croc that ate a severed hand
I wish they WOULD come and take you away, right now
I wish the goblins WOULD come and take you away
RIGHT NOW
SMELL BAD. Bogged down
Something is wrong, I make that summoning rocks sound
I swear revenge. Ludo says, Sarah friend
These are the people who really love me, but they're pretend
Where's it end, I wonder? I'm too scared to calm down
But I keep my head while others lose theirs all around
I was mistaken to ask you. You put a brake to the axle
But if I'd gone that way, she'd have gone straight to their castle
Thanks, asshole. My patience is taxed, this maze is unnatural
I race at my maximum pace, but I'm back in the actual place I was trapped like an animal
Scrambling panicked, I crawl into a passageway or try to jump
Goblin King or Garbage Lady, I'm captivated by the junk
I have today to find the baby I angrily gave these guys
After that, he stays behind in the maze inside my crazy mind
Wow, kids these days! You remind me of the babe
Don't misbehave - just do as I say and I will be your slave
I wish they WOULD come and take you away, right now
I wish the goblins WOULD come and take you away
RIGHT NOW
Through dangers untold and hardships too high to number
I’ve fought my way to the castle beyond the Goblin City for my brother
Give me the infant that you have stolen through my blunder
Will he ever forgive me? I wonder
Look. Faeries bite. Beasts are friends
Jareth’s right. I should never reach the end
I could eat the peach and surrender to dream of masquerades
But I’ve seen what matters, and after that? A Labyrinth’s a piece of cake
For my will is as strong as yours
And my kingdom is as great
You have no power over me

I wish they WOULD come and take you away, right now
I wish the goblins WOULD come and take you away
RIGHT NOW
I had a dream I could find my way to the centre of the Labyrinth
Dance Magic Dance! and when it's time to pay the piper, I'd just hide away in a quiet place
Try and escape; I didn't realize for days that I was wide awake
