lyrics

Scrapbook

Star-coffered ceilings in cinnamon hotels
Carousel stallions are turning in tune
Drifting on breezes in sunny day mansions
Stroll by the shore on the grassy sand dune

Megaphone mustache through wallpaper scenery
Calling the strollers of pink promenade
Ladies in brilliantine carry umbrellas
Stop at the stand for a cool lemonade

Chorus: Shells on the seashore make tissued impressions
Walk by the sands of your fairyland mind
Gathering souvenirs for your grand scrapbook
Look in the clouds and see what you can find

Carousel playing calliope symphony
You greet the smiles of the committee chair
Polite amenities, no rude obscenities
Pass through waves of the vibrating air

Children are playing in sandcastle vestibules
Watching you as the waves sink in their moat
Descending spiraling sandcastle staircase
To swab the deck of their Candyland boat

Chorus

You grace the halls of the memory institute
Lovely mementos unfold from the past
Change all the fleeting impermanent semblances
To frozen happenings structured to last

Melt all the icicles shaped from your fantasy
Crystal conceptions created in time
Radiant rainbows reflecting on haloes
Melting and flowing in clear pantomime

Chorus

David T. Anderson: Vocals, guitar, and keyboards
PH: Vocals, drums, guitar, and keyboards
Chronos Chesterton: Keyboards, guitar
