Cerdes (Outside the Gates of)
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, while my eyes, while my eyes reach out for facts
Woah, my eyes reach out for facts
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, while my eyes, while my eyes reach out for facts
Woah, my eyes reach out for facts
