lyrics

Now listen to my story happened long ago in blue
When the age of the atom kept on breaking thru
And I do remember people with flowers in their hair
But they screwed it all up cause they did not care
Had a probability to change our globe
But they ended up in discos, stoned dead in the strobes
What was precious for them is no more for me
Cause they have forsaken a huge probability

Hey, the clergymen keeps on playing organ pipe
Down the church-hall bathe in gentle evening sun
Summer’s over and he’s aware of that
While Satan’s hasn’t noticed this minute fact
He keeps listening to the music, it’s naive, he laughs
And the masses laugh with him, following to hell
A baby in crimson, black eyes, born of whore
Threw away from her house and left on African shore

Yeah, a prophet grows up and gains his wings
He learns to use the full magic of strings
He plays his harp so that ancient gods cry
And they send forth a messenger, to take the prophet to the sky
Gods are quite surprised with his karat eyes
Well they ought to be black and that’s quite a surprise
I have changed now I’m a changeling he says
Watch me spread my butterfly wings

And the unicorn sighs and the fairies dance
And I’m losing sleep in an ultraviolet trance
Purple glimpses, little lights before my face
Appear and vanishing without no trace
