The Great Deceiver Lyrics by King Crimson

The Great Deceiver Lyrics

    Health-food faggot with a bartered bride
    Likes to comb his hair with a dipper ride
    Once had a friend with a cloven foot
    Once he called the tune in a chequered quit

    Great deceiver

    In the door on the floor in a paper bag
    There's a shoe-shine boy with a gin-shop slag
    She raised him up and she called him son
    And she canonised the ground that he walked upon

    Great deceiver

    Cigarettes, ice cream, figurines of the virgin mary
    Cigarettes, ice cream, figurines of the virgin mary

    Cigarettes, ice cream, cadillacs blue jeans

    In the night he's a star in the milky way
    He's a man of the world by the light of day
    A golden smile and a proposition
    And the breath of god smells of sweet sedition

    Great deceiver

    Sing hymns make love get high fall dead
    He'll bring his perfume to your bed
    He'll charm your life 'til the cold winds blow
    Then he'll sell your dreams to a picture show

    Cigarettes, ice cream, figurines of the virgin mary
    Cigarettes, ice cream, figurines of the virgin mary

    Cadillacs, blue jeans, dixieland playing on the ferry
    Cadillacs, blues jeans, drop a glass full of antique sherry
