In the center of the city was a statue and her twin And together they watched over everything Oh, they saw me when I stumbled and they watched you help me stand I'd swear Cecelia and her sister had it all planned Then one morning I was walking, from my window to your door Well I nearly hit the ground with what I saw Cecelia had been broken, while her sister had been spared And the vandals had scattered the pieces everywhere And I knew it made me wonder what kind of twisted mind Would ever hurt her, so thoughtless and unkind But a monster so cruel can't be that hard to find So I started wearing warpaint and I gathered all my friends For Cecelia we'd be hunters 'till the end She was built for a perfect picture, but she came to represent Though I guess I never understood exactly what it meant Oh I know Cecelia and her sister were just statues made of stone But I still missed her and now her sister's all alone No that just won't do! So let's raid the vandal's homes Boys! Won't we boys? Oh come on boys! Come on boys! So we ventured out at sunrise With our torches and our spears And our shotguns and our fears And our carefully hidden tears For Cecelia, Cecelia Now I'm thinking of the moment When we can look them in the eye And make them sorry, 'cause tonight they're gonna die Yeah, we'll shoot them up dead! Leave their bodies where they lie Boys, won't we boys? So now we're following the pieces of Cecelia to the door Every shattered limb repeatedly reminding us of what we're searching for And the sleepers have woken for now they have an aim Yes they're quite aware of the cold hard fact that the city's loss could be their gain They are dreaming of, the feeling of! A trophy in their arms, a hero's welcome, claiming women with their charms Oh I'm sorry if I hurt you, you know I swear I meant no harm Oh baby So the trail, it keeps on turning as we wonder through the streets I keep looking at, the pieces of Cecelia at my feet But the strangest thing occurs to me When I stop to look around Oh I'd swear we are returning to the center of the town! Yes we're back here, where we started Where Cecelia used to stand, but her sister looks different Please, tell me boys, if you can? Is that a smile on her face? Is that a hammer in her hand? Boys? Run, boys, run! Run, run, run, run! RUN!
