And so the story goes
|
they wore the clothes
|
They said the things
|
to make it seem improbable
|
The whale of a lie
|
like they hope it was
|
And the Goodmen of Tomorrow
|
Had their feet in the wallow
|
And their heads of Brawn
|
were nicer shorn
|
And how they bought their positions with saccharin and trust
|
And the world was asleep
|
to our latent fuss
|
Sighing, the swirl through the streets
|
Like the crust of the sun
|
The Bewlay Brothers
|
In our Wings that Bark
|
Flashing teeth of Brass
|
Standing tall in the dark
|
Oh, And we were Gone
|
Hanging out with your Dwarf Men
|
We were so turned on
|
By your lack of conclusions
|
|
I was Stone and he was Wax
|
So he could scream,
|
and still relax, unbelievable
|
And we frightened the small children away
|
And our talk was old
|
and dust would flow
|
Thru our veins and Lo!
|
it was midnight
|
Back o' the kitchen door
|
Like the grim face
|
on the Cathedral floor
|
And the solid book we wrote
|
Cannot be found today
|
|
And it was Stalking time
|
for the Moonboys
|
The Bewlay Brothers
|
With our backs on the arch
|
In the Devil-may-be-here
|
But He can't sing about that
|
Oh, And we were Gone
|
Real Cool Traders
|
We were so Turned On
|
You thought we were Fakers
|
|
Now the dress is hung,
|
the ticket pawned
|
The Factor Max that proved the fact
|
Is melted down
|
And woven on the edging of my pillow
|
Now my Brother lays upon the Rocks
|
He could be dead, He could be not
|
He could be You
|
He's Camelian, Comedian, Corinthian and Caricature
|
"Shooting-up Pie-in-the-Sky"
|
The Bewlay Brothers
|
In the feeble and the Bad
|
The Bewlay Brothers
|
In the Blessed and Cold
|
In the Crutch-hungry Dark
|
Was where we flayed our Mark
|
Oh, and we were Gone
|
Kings of Oblivion
|
We were so Turned On
|
In the Mind-Warp Pavilion
|
|
Lay me place and bake me Pie
|
I'm starving for me Gravy
|
Leave my shoes, and door unlocked
|
I might just slip away
|
Just for the Day, Hey!
|
Please come Away, Hey! [repeat ad inf.]
