Procol Harum - The Idol Lyrics
Oh the idol, oh the idolThey knew the monsters every trickThey knew his secrets every stitchAll of it had been a gameNothing but a charlatanPerhaps there was a chance of coming throughIt even seemed that he might think it tooBut he could see no point in diving inHe knew that he would neither sink nor swimAnd so they found hed nothing left to sayJust another idol turned to clayIt seemed to them he must know what to doThey knew that only he could pull them throughThey thought that he would make a planHed work it out, hed understandLike drowning men they clutched at every strawThey knew that he had saved them all beforeBut he could see no point in diving inHe knew that he would neither sink nor swim
