Cerdes lyrics

Artist  : Procol harum 
Song : Cerdes
 
(brooker / reid)

Outside the gates of cerdes sits the two-pronged
unicorn
Who plays at relaxation time a rhinestone
flugelhorn
Whilst mermaids lace carnations into wreaths for
ailing whales
And neptune dances hornpipes while salome sheds
her veils

Phallus phil tries peddling his pewter painted
pot
But sousa sam can only hear the screams of peep
the sot
Who only sips his creme de menthe from terra
cotta cups
And exhales menthol scented breath whilst spewing
verbiage up

Down technical blind alleys live the wraiths of
former dreams
And greeps who often crossed them are no longer
what they seem
And even christian scientists can but display
marble plaques
Which only retell legends whilst my eyes reach
out for facts
Yeah, my eyes reach out for facts
