get my hands around the smoke
I try to shake it by its broken tail
Run my fingers over those dark walls
Check for stories left behind in Braille
I understand the rattlesnake's old song
But pretty soon, and it won't be long
and then leave it all behind
No one here was sure where he had gone
They always say the first
had the trouble been confined
But when the second and the third ones give out,
Then the writing on that wall's
The statue had a face fixed in a sneer
And he growled his dominion to the sand
But he was muffled by the
And then he failed to speak
when called to the witness stand
Just trying to find a decent
Yeah, say goodbye to his fanciful mind
I could choke it up to anything
From cruel fate to ruthless profiteers
But usually I blame the ones I love
And that's mostly just because
And it tumbles golden crazy
All of us are smiling in the glow
A long farewell to the fanciful mind
Goodbye to the fanciful mind
Oh, goodbye to your fanciful mind
