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
Coda [repeat w/guitar solo to fade]:
