Lighthouse Keeper

A long haired man came to my door

Wearing Roman sandals carrying a golden sword

He said "Come with me and I'll take you higher"

We soared out of the atmosphere

on his magic carpet that he let me steer

Said "take the reins and I'll let you fly her"

We escalated through a thick of clouds

And our only thought was not coming down

Towards the amber glow I started to feel the fire

There was a unicorn with a neon horn

wearing a velvet saddle that was slightly worn

I pulled my mystic rug right up beside her

I sat down on a floatin stool

She knelt her head and produced a jewel

And I smiled and asked if I could ride her

And I saw the lighthouse keeper

His hollow eyes that pierced my soul

He said that I'm just a desperate seeker

Searchin' for what I did not know

On Pegasus I was flying free

Careless lost over a purple sea

When I came upon this lonesome fortune teller

She gazed into her crystal ball

and I saw that giant gavel fall

She asked if I could be her pall bearer

And I heard that gypsy prophesy

Of the tearin flesh and the mother's cry

And the crimson flow of blood that would run forever

we stood before the kings and queens

And the hooded man with the guillotine

And prepared to meet the eternal tax collector

Then I dined there with an aristocrat on his balcony with a welcome mat

and he laughed and drank all the wine from the cellar
