Lyrics to The Head
The Head Video:
Only a palace with interior doorsWell painted well gargoyled with multiple floorsTwo windows let free this projector machineand the magical world here appears on the screenMy servants attend me with tricks of the sensesThe past and the future and similar tensesand on platters of air they convey me my measureboth gladness and sorrow, I lack not for treasureThe lord and his lady are seated withinIn the court of the mind where the song does beginThe song is as fine is as fine is as followsThe song does continue through measureless hollowsthat sink from the level of personal beingthrough caverns of darkness where dragonsare dwellingThe mountains above them are raised at my callingWhere the apples are ripe or the rain is a-fallingIn ships of white vision I sail the horizonwhere three spinners stand beyond thehorizon under the tree of the apples of beautyI watch them arranging my days and tomorrowsThe song is as fine is as fine as it followsI stood on the beach where the moon was a-curlingLaughed on the wings of the sea birds callingI loved when sweet Venus a lover did bring meI cried when sweet Saturn and Jupiter moved usand all of my servants were fighting their brothersAnd the lord and the lady they hated each otherTill the spinners arose with their work on their fingersCommanding the presence of Heavenly singersThat spoke of the silence so soon to be comingWhen all would be still in the wonderful palaceThe peace is not stillness but peacefully changingThis hope is the hope of the man on the gallowsThe song is as fine is as fine is as followsThe infant I was in the womb of my motherWhite sperm I was in the loins of my fatherBefore that I swam in the oceans of nowhereWhere the fish are as fine as the colour of coloursWhere waves are the message of centuries rollingWhere wind is the breath of the Holy CreatorWhere no ship sails but only the oceanWhere all the rivers grow mighty withs howingAnd crowned with the gifts of the myriad valleysReturn with a sigh to the sea of the comingForever and ever and ever and ever be glad O beGlad for the song has no ending.
