King Crimosn Book Of Saturday Lyrics

Book Of Saturday Lyrics

If I only could deceive you 

 Forgetting the game 

 Every time I try to leave you 

 You laugh just the same 

  

 'Cause my wheels never touch the road 

 And the jumble of lies we told 

 Just returns to my back to weigh me down... 

  

 We lay cards upon the table 

 The backs of our hands 

 And I swear I like your people 

 The boys in the band 

  

 Reminiscences gone astray 

 Coming back to enjoy the fray 

 In a tangle of night and daylight sounds... 

  

 All completeness in the morning 

 Asleep on your side 

 I'll be waking up the crewmen 

 Banana-boat ride 

  

 She responds like a limousine 

 Brought alive on the silent screen 

 To the shuddering breath of yesterday... 

  

 There's the succour of the needy 

 Incredible scenes 

 I'll believe you in the future 

 Your life and death dreams 

  

 As the cavalry of despair 

 Takes a stand in the lady's hair 

 For the favour of making sweet sixteen... 

  

 You make my life and times 

 A book of bluesy Saturdays 

 And I have to chose
