(Wetton/Fripp/Palmer-James)
|
Health-food faggot with a bartered bride
|
Likes to comb his hair with a dipper ride
|
Once had a friend with a cloven foot
|
Once he called the tune in a chequered quit
|
|
Great Deceiver
|
|
In the door on the floor in a paper bag
|
There's a shoe-shine boy with a gin-shop slag
|
She raised him up and she called him son
|
And she canonised the ground that he walked upon
|
|

Cigarettes, ice cream, figurines of the Virgin Mary

|
|
Cigarettes, ice cream, cadillacs blue jeans
|
|
In the night he's a star in the Milky Way
|
He's a man of the world by the light of day
|
A golden smile and a proposition
|
And the breath of God smells of sweet sedition
|
|
Great Deceiver
|
|
Sing hymns make love get high fall dead
|
He'll bring his perfume to your bed
|
He'll charm your life 'til the cold winds blow
|
Then he'll sell your dreams to a picture show
|
