[Verse 1]
Lightning hits the house of wax
Poets spill out on the street
To set alight the incomplete
Remainders of the future

Hidden in the yard
Hidden in the yard

[Verse 2]
Thunder drowns the trumpets' blast
Poets scatter through the night
But they can only dream of flight
Away from their confusion

[Chorus]
Hidden in the yard
Underneath the wall
Buried deep below a thousand layers
Lay the answer to it all

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Lightning hits the house of wax
Women scream and run around
To dance upon the battleground
Like wild demented horses

[Chorus]
Hidden in the yard
Underneath the wall
Buried deep below a thousand layers
Lay the answer to it all
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Hidden in the yard
Underneath the wall
Buried deep below a thousand layers
Lay the answer to it all

Sir James Paul McCartney, born June 18, 1942, is the single most successful music artist of all time. He found worldwide fame as the bass player and vocalist for The Beatles, and has continued to enjoy commercial success long after the band’s breakup.

His post-Beatles projects—the most lucrative of which was the band Wings, alongside then-wife Linda Eastman—have been met with mixed critical reception but he still retains a substantial public following, regularly conducting worldwide arena tours well into his later years.

His album sales with The Beatles, Wings and solo endeavours combined come to over 100 million, and his net worth was estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion circa 2018. He was knighted in 1997 and is known for his activism.
