KING CRIMSON - Indoor Games lyrics

Indoor fireworks amuse your kitchen staff<br /> Dusting plastic garlic plants<br /> They snigger in the draught<br /> When you ride through the parlour<br /> Wearing nothing but your armour-<br /> Playing indoor games.<br /> <br /> One string puppet shows amuse<br /> Your sycophantic friends<br /> Who cheer your rancid recipes<br /> In fear they might offend,<br /> Whilst you loaf on your sofa<br /> Sporting falsies and a toga-<br /> Playing indoor games, indoor games.<br /> <br /> Your mean teetotum spins arouse your seventh wife<br /> Who pats her sixty little skins<br /> And reinsures your life,<br /> Whilst you sulk in your sauna<br /> 'cos you lost your jigsaw corner-<br /> Playing indoor games, indoor games.<br /> <br /> Each afternoon you train baboons to sing<br /> Or swim in purple perspex water wings.<br /> Come saturday jump hopper, chelsea brigade,<br /> High bender-trender it's all indoor games.<br /> <br /> No ball bagatelle incites<br /> Your children to conspire,<br /> They slide across your frying pan<br /> And fertilize your fire;<br /> Still you and jones go madder<br /> Broken bones-broken ladder-<br /> Hey ho . . .<br /><br />
