Genesis - Dancing With The Moonlit Knight Lyrics
Can you tell me where my country lies?Said the unifaun to his true loves eyes.It lies with me! cried the queen of maybe- for her merchandise, he traded in his prize.Paper late! cried a voice in the crowd.Old man dies! the note he left was signed old father thames- it seems hes drowned;Selling england by the pound.Citizens of hope & glory,Time goes by - its the time of your life.Easy now, sit you down.Chewing through your wimpey dreams,They eat without a sound;Digesting england by the pound.Young man says you are what you eat - eat well.Old man says you are what you wear - wear well.You know what you are, you dont give a damn;Bursting your belt that is your homemade sham.The captain leads his dance right on through the night- join the dance...Follow on! till the grail sun sets in the mould.Follow on! till the gold is cold.Dancing out with the moonlit knight,Knights of the green shield stamp and shout.Theres a fat old lady outside the saloon;Laying out the credit cards she plays fortune.The deck is uneven right from the start;And all of their hands are playing apart.The captain leads his dance right on through the night- join the dance...Follow on! a round table-talking down we go.Youre the show!Off we go with - you play the hobbyhorse,Ill play the fool.Well tease the bullRinging round & loud, loud & round.Follow on! with a twist of the world we go.Follow on! till the gold is cold.Dancing out with the moonlit knight,Knights of the green shield stamp and shout.
