Cerdes (Outside the Gates Of) (2009 Remaster)

Outside the gates of Cerdes

Sits the two-pronged unicorn

Plays at relaxation time

A rhinestone flugelhorn

While mermaids lace carnations

Into wreaths for ailing whales

Neptune dances hornpipes while Salome sheds her veils

Phallus Phil tries peddling

His pewter painted pot

But Sousa Sam can only hear

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

Greeps who often crossed them

Are no longer what they seem

And even Christian Scientists

Can but display marble plaques

Which only retell legends, while my eyes, ah, reach out for facts

Yeah, my eyes reach out for facts
