KING CRIMSON - The Great Deceiver lyrics

rate me

Health-food faggot with a bartered bride<br>Likes to comb his hair with a dipper ride<br>Once had a friend with a cloven foot<br>Once he called the tune in a chequered quit<br><br>Great deceiver<br><br>In the door on the floor in a paper bag<br>There's a shoe-shine boy with a gin-shop slag<br>She raised him up and she called him son<br>And she canonised the ground that he walked upon<br><br>Great deceiver<br><br>Cigarettes, ice cream, figurines of the virgin mary<br>Cigarettes, ice cream, figurines of the virgin mary<br><br>Cigarettes, ice cream, cadillacs blue jeans<br><br>In the night he's a star in the milky way<br>He's a man of the world by the light of day<br>A golden smile and a proposition<br>And the breath of God smells of sweet sedition<br><br>Great deceiver<br><br>Sing hymns make love get high fall dead<br>He'll bring his perfume to your bed<br>He'll charm your life 'til the cold winds blow<br>Then he'll sell your dreams to a picture show<br><br>Cigarettes, ice cream, figurines of the virgin mary<br>Cigarettes, ice cream, figurines of the virgin mary<br><br>Cadillacs, blue jeans, dixieland playing on the ferry<br>Cadillacs, blues jeans, drop a glass full of antique sherry
