Verse 1

F7 Outside the gates of CA♯7erdes

F7 Sits the two-pronged unicA♯7orn

F7 Plays at relaxA♯7ation time

F7 The rhinestone flugelA♯7horn

Gm While mermaids lace carnDmations

Gm Into wreaths for ailing whFales

Gm Neptune dances hDmornpipes C

Verse 2

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

Instrumental break

(guitar solo over verse chords)

Verse 3

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
