You're flying so high Over cities of gold, But in your mind's eye, Something evil takes hold. Call from a stranger, You whisper a name. Dive into danger, Like a moth to the flame. And you know it's too late To stop what you're doin'. You can't break a date With the Rhombus of Ruin. Next thing you'll be viewin' Is the Rhombus of Ruin. It's time that you face That there's no reason why You're drawn to the place Where you're certain to die. And didn't you get my Mayday telegram To please stay away from That parallelogram? No wise man will tread Where you all just flew in. You'll sure lose your head In the Rhombus of Ruin. And you'll stick like glue in The Rhombus of Ruin. You're a fool to dare To try to escape From the pull of this slanted square. And your life is on loan, No chance of renewin', And there's no going home From the Rhombus of Ruin. 'Cause trouble is brewin', So don't put your shoe in. You're going to boo-hoo in The Rhombus of Ruin.
I gained mad respect for whoever wrote this when I heard them rhyme "Stick like glue in" with "The rhombus of ruin." Whoever wrote these lyrics has a gift.
I want a full on james bondeswue psychonauts movie non live action all animated specialy with music like this itd be sick as hell and im sure theyd make dr loboto really fucking scary.
All classic James Bond themes (Goldfinger for example) as this is an Hommage to Bond themes. Another parody of this kind would be the title song for Life of Brian.
Like the Duck Dodgers theme song, Weird Al's title song from SPY HARD (1996) is very much in the style of the title song from THUNDERBALL (1965). Also THUNDERBALL has a rejected theme song "Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" - Shirley Bassey has a good recording of it. Also Shirley's recordings of "The Liquidator" and "Dangerous Games". Another rejected Bond theme song - "Surrender" from TOMORROW NEVER DIES (1997). THE SIMPSONS has at least 2 - "Scorpio" and "Blessed Be The Guy That Bonds"!
Played Rhombus of Ruin recently as a prepper for Psychonauts 2 after playing the first one and I absolutely loved it. Insanely cool game. This intro sequence struck such a cord with me as someone who grew up on bond films, as well as the james bond style intro sequence with dioramas of the characters. Maybe not enough flying objects though.
Lemme just put all the lyrics as I understood them, lol You're flying so high Almost to tears of gold But in your minds, I Something evil takes hold Call from a stranger You whisper a name Dive into danger Like a mob to the frame (?)

From the pool of this lantern squire (?) And your lie is all zoned (?) No chance of renewing And there's no going home From the Rhombus of Ruin 'Cause trouble is brewing So don't put your shoe in Your going to boohooing The Rhombus of Ruin
You're flying so high
Over cities of gold,
But in your mind's eye,
Something evil takes hold.
Call from a stranger,
You whisper a name.
Dive into danger,
Like a moth to the flame.
And you know it's too late
To stop what you're doin'.
You can't break a date
With the Rhombus of Ruin.
Next thing you'll be viewin'
Is the Rhombus of Ruin.
It's time that you face
That there's no reason why
You're drawn to the place
Where you're certain to die.
And didn't you get my
Mayday telegram
To please stay away from
That parallelogram?
No wise man will tread
Where you all just flew in.
You'll sure lose your head
In the Rhombus of Ruin.
And you'll stick like glue in
The Rhombus of Ruin.
You're a fool to dare
To try to escape
From the pull of this slanted square.
And your life is on loan,
No chance of renewin',
And there's no going home
From the Rhombus of Ruin.
'Cause trouble is brewin',
So don't put your shoe in.
You're going to boo-hoo in
The Rhombus of Ruin.

That would be our main Double Fine man Tim Schafer!
@@demonoflight While Schafer is doing good work, I would seriously be surprised if he was the one writing the lyrics of this.
@@Tohlsimir He's literally credited as the lyricist.
@@demonoflight My bad then, I didn't really check but I assumed it was probably written by Peter McConnell as well or someones else.
Psychonauts songs always slap. This, Helmut's song, and Drag Me Down are god-tier.
Dont forget lady lucktopus! And black velvetopia of course. Excelent soundtrack all around
@pajamaapants5016 I was initially talking about the songs with lyrics, but every song in the soundtrack is amazing
Psychonauts theme: Epic Tongue-in-cheek Conspiracy Adventure
Rhombus of Ruin theme: 60's Spy Parody
Thank you ; honestly hope that this song gets put on a soundtrack pieced together to buy in the future because its just that good.
This is highkey a bop :0
I want a full on james bondeswue psychonauts movie non live action all animated specialy with music like this itd be sick as hell and im sure theyd make dr loboto really fucking scary.
Dr loboto tho XD
Laiki studios would be perfect for a Psychonauts movie
@@Objectivelyuseless your god damn right.
Been looking for this for ages now, thanks a ton!
Song bops
the rent was DUE
HOLY FU-- THIS SONG IS SO GOOD :0
It's so cool!! :D
They went so hard for a comedy thing, it's fantastic. Anyone know any similar songs? Only one I can think of is the Tom Jones Duck Dodgers theme

The opening credits of "I Expect you to Die" or of "I Expect you to Die 2: The Spy and the Liar"
@@Gibberishusernamehere Ooooo these are really good...
I just finished the game and just saw a playthrough for the VR game and can’t wait for the sequel
Thanks you! I was looking for this!
AND YOU KNOOOOOOOOOOOW ITS TOOOOO LAAAAAAAAAAAATE
it's so fucking good
the only game where you get to play as an official psychonaut the entire time
i mean raz was never officially a psychonaut, he just thought he was

I like to imagine it's Milla singing this.
For some reason maligula always comes to mind for me.
Um OBVIOUSLY this is being sung by Sasha Nein. Idk what y’all are even on about.
@@gergory97 XD
@@gergory97 yeah milla can’t compare to Sasha singing like this is evidence
@@gergory97 no its coach oleander
Psychonauts creator Tim Schafer wrote the lyrics for this song.
The writers really said “oh? A psychonauts VR spinoff? Well boys… SEND IN GOD HIMSELF TO WRITE SOMETHING UP”
Man I'm not a native speaker and what are these pronunciations
Over cities of gold? More like Almost to tears of gold
Lemme just put all the lyrics as I understood them, lol
You're flying so high
