The Devil and Mr. Jones

He sit's in the dark looking into the glass
With his hands in the jar
It's a sticky white mess
He applies it, and he wonders
"How'd I ever get here?"
Piercing his reflection as he
Pulls off an ear
'neath the sign reading Exit
By the backstage door
His fans are collected for a
Glimpse at the star
He emerges, and they wonder, "Oh
How can it be?"
This angel is the monster we
Have all come to see?"

In the labyrinth, in that lab you're in
In the watery depths of Hell
Boy, you were so renowned in the underground
Even dead in a tale where the witches dwell
Eating all you know as a wendigo
On a board soaring out to space
Selling ice cream when we are at the end
In a war between Heaven and Hell
"This is your fate, Mr jones, my dear!"
Said the Devil to dear Mr jones
"You'll be loved by the millions
And great at your task
But no one will see who is under the mask
Cover your face, Mr jones, my dear
It's hot as Hell under the foam
And like me, you will be
In a crowd yet all alone"

Lo sabe Guillermo Del Toro el gran director
Tambien hubo Ortega, que lo vio en este senor
Story saw it glimmer
And Fessenden's known it for years
It shines from within him through the growls
And the moans and the tears

In the labyrinth, in that lab you're in
In the watery depths of Hell
Boy, you were so renowned in the underground
Even dead in a tale where the witches dwell
Eating all you know as a wendigo
On a board soaring out to space
Selling ice cream when we are at the end
In a war between Heaven and Hell
"This is your fate, Mr jones, my dear!"
Said the Devil to dear Mr jones
"You'll be loved by the millions
And great at your task
But no one will see who is under the mask
Cover your face, Mr jones, my dear
It's hot as Hell under the foam
And like me, you will be
In a crowd yet all alone"

In the labyrinth, in that lab you're in
In the watery depths of Hell
Boy you were so renowned in the underground
Even dead in a tale where the witches dwell
Eating all you know as a wendigo
On a board soaring out to space
Selling ice cream when we are at the end
In a war between Heaven and Hell

"Show us your face, Mr jones, my dear"
(Said the Angel to dear Mr jones)
"It's a crime to the heavens
For even a while
To hide for a moment that beautiful smile
Show us your face, Mr jones, my dear"
(Said the angel to dear Mr jones)
"You are loved and you know
You will never be alone!"
