lyrics
PLASTER OF PARIS
The road here turns inward and is at it for days.
A minotaur met/minor torment in an emotional maze.
Circus came crashing with the smell of esprit,
And time is a floppy disc wobbling haywire at me.
Plaster of Paris, how white your hair is!
Plaster of Paris, how white is your hair!
O wheel of Ferris, so high in the air!
Plaster of Paris, how white your hair is!
Switchbacks and cul-de-sacs are the rule of the day.
You have to punch air-holes just to keep you in play.
And obiter dicta can confuse your resolve
If you don’t watch how the grandads of alabaster revolve.
Plaster of Paris, how white your hair is!
Plaster of Paris, how white is your hair!
O wheel of Ferris, so high in the air!
Plaster of Paris, how white your hair is!
I am rounding the calendar,
A fleeting retreating blur.
I am sounding the tenterhook,
Played on a brassy horn!
