Verse 1: 
 
(F7) (Bb7) 
Outside the gates of Cerdes 
(F7) (Bb7) 
Sits the two-pronged unicorn 
(F7) (Bb7) 
Plays at relaxation time 
(F7) (Bb7) 
The rhinestone flugelhorn 
(Gm) (Dm) 
While mermaids lace carnations 
(Gm) (F) 
Into wreaths for ailing whales 
(Gm) (Dm) /(C) 
Neptune dances hornpipes 
(Bb7) (F7) (Bb7) (F7) (Bb7) 
While Salome sheds her veils 
 
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]:
