Fas the F/Emiller told his Dmtale Dm C

Gthat her fG/Face, at firEmst just G/Dghostly,

turned a Cwhiter FshadeC of pGaleG/F

She said, 'There is no reason

and the truth is plain to see.'

But I wandered through my playing cards

and would not let her be

one of sixteen vestal virgins

who were leaving for the coast

and although my eyes were open

they might have just as well've been closed

She said, 'I'm home on shore leave,'

though in truth we were at sea

so I took her by the looking glass

and forced her to agree

saying, 'You must be the mermaid

who took Neptune for a ride.'

But she smiled at me so sadly

that my anger straightway died

If music be the food of love

then laughter is its queen

and likewise if behind is in front

then dirt in truth is clean

My mouth by then like cardboard

seemed to slip straight through my head

So we crash-dived straightway quickly

and attacked the ocean bed

SGmtill sees trGuth quite EbeasiBbly

Bb ImpersonGmates a wCmatering Gmcan

repeat intro w/full band after each verse

Some Santa Claus-like face of note

Entreats my ears to set afloat

My feeble, sick, and weary brain

And I am overcome with shame

And hide inside my overcoat

And hurriedly begin to quote

And some Arabian sheik most grand

Impersonates a hot dog stand

(guitar solo over verse chords)

Red Cross ambulance outside

Could only mean that I must hide

'Til dusk and finally the night

When I will make a hasty flight

Across the sea and far away

To where the weary exiles stay

And some Arabian oil well

Impersonates a padded cell

And sBbome AGmrabian Cmoil wGmell

Bb ImpersonGmates a Cmpadded cGmell

repeat intro; end cold on last Gm of 2nd repeat

Phallus Phil tries peddling

His pewter painted pot

But Sousa Sam could only hear

Screams of Pete the Sot

Buddha sips his Creme deMenthe

From terra cotta cups

And exhales menthol-scented breath

While spewing verbiage up

(guitar solo over verse chords)

Down technical blind alleys

Live the race of former dreams

These who walk across them

Are no longer what they seem

Even Christian Scientists

Can but display marble plaques

Which only retell legends

While my eyes reach out for facts

Yeah, my eyes reach out for facts
