Lyrics
(Fish / marillion)
To be the prince of possession in the gallery of contempt Suffering your indiscrete discretions and you ask me to relent As you accumulate flirtations with the calculated calmness of the whore Of the whore I am the harlequin - diamonded costume dripping shades of green I am the harlequin - sense strangers violate my sanctuary Prowl my dreams My dreams, and they're my dreams, they're my dreams Plundering your diaries, I'll steal your thoughts Ravaging your letters, unearth your plots Innocence What a surprise Innocence What a surprise Innocence Innocence
To don the robes of torquemada resurrect the inquisitions And in that tortured subtle manner inflict questions Within questions within questions Looking in shades of green through shades of blue I trust you trust in me to mistrust you Through the silk-cut haze to the smeared mascara A forty-watt sun on a courtroom drama
And the coffee stains gather till the pale kimono Set the wedding rings dancing on the cold linoleum
And accusation's moths that circle around the light Char their wings in spiral senselesssuicidal flight Pack our world within a suitcase hot tears melt this icy palace And dissolve a crystal swallowed by the night Looking in shades of green through shades of blue Looking in shades of green through shades of blue
