A Trick Of The Tail

Intro: - (add #) - msus2sus4 - (add #) Bored of the life in the city of gold He’d left and let nobody know Gone were the towers he had known from a child Alone with the dream of a life He travelled the wide open road                                The blinkered arcade In search of another to share in his life   No  -   whe -  re Everyone looked so strange to him They’ve got no horns and they’ve got no tail They don’t even know of our existence Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold That lies in the deep distance he cried And wept as they led him away to a cage "Beast that can talk" read the sign The creatures they pushed and they prodded his frame And questioned his story again But soon they grew bored of their prey Beast that can talk ? More like a freak or publicity stunt Oh no They’ve got no horns and they’ve got no tail They don’t even know of our existence Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold That lies in the deep distance he cried And broke down the door of the cage and marched on out He grabbed a creature by the scruff of his neck pointing out      There beyond the bounds of your weak imagination Lie the noble towers of my city bright and gold Let   me take you there and show you a living story       Let me show you others such as me Why did I ever leave ? They’ve got no horns and they’ve got no tail They don’t even know of our existence Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold That lies in the deep distance he cried And wept And so we set out with the beast and his horns          And his crazy description of home                                  After many days journey we came to a peak   Where the beast gazed abroad and cried out       We followed his gaze and we thought maybe we saw          A spire of gold - no a trick of the eye that’s all But the beast was gone and a voice was heard They’ve got no horns and they’ve got no tail They don’t even know of our existence Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold That lies in the deep distance he cried Hello friend welcome home
