Yeah I cant understand the choice to splice it like that, I could get perhaps three splices at maximum, but it is sucha lovely song so it should have been played as a whole
THANK YOU! I discovered the album recently and I was really hoping I could find something like this. I do wonder why the artist chose to disperse it in such a way?
I’ve scoured the internet for these lyrics, but I can’t find them anywhere. If anyone knows the parts that I missed or got wrong, please let me know! Here are the lyrics I have so far: Did you pass the glass mountain Where Salome opened her dress Did you see the dolphins’ feathered fountain Oh the king made a bloody mess And the sheep has fading yellow eyes The minstrel’s magic failed And the marble Egyptian fireflies Put on their quilted veils But the minstrel’s mirror now turns to sand The sheep his eyes to glass Salome falls and wets her hair ???????????? Would you rather stumble on Satan’s smile Or a Catholic saint’s confession And life is like walking on an endless ???? ??????? another lesson Cleopatra was eating Christmas cake And playing on her Inca flute When I whispered ????????? She said just call me pyramid prostitute And all my colored water birds Are talking of flying east But the operator says it quite absurd I should think of cutting my wrist Oh bring me an albino albatross Saw my Indian beast unfold Yes I got wealth and coins to toss But my greatness makes me feel small Now Salome dances on the granite font And the king he turns to red Salome you can have anything you want Off with Baptist’s head And I’m with Alice in wonderland Skipping through the rain Flowered marbles in our hands As we roll on down the lane As we roll on down the lane As we laugh on down the lane
Did you pass the glass mountain Where Salome opened her dress Did you see the dolphins’ feathered fountain Oh the king made a bloody mess Under Sheba’s fading yellow eyes The minstrel’s magic failed And the marble Egyptian fireflies Pulled down their quilted veils But the minstrel’s mirror now turns to sand And Sheba’s eyes to glass Salome falls and wets her hair In your dreams did you ever pass Would you rather stumble on Satan’s smile Or a Catholic saint’s confession And life is like walking on an endless mile Each step another lesson Cleopatra was eating Christmas cake And playing on her Inca flute When I whispered, Cleo I’m home from the wake She said just call me pyramid prostitute And all my colored water birds Are talking of flying east But the operator says it’s quite absurd I should think of cutting my wrist Oh bring me an albino albatross So my Indian beads don’t fall Yes I’ve got wealth and coins to toss But my greatness makes me feel small Now Salome dances on the granite font And the king he turns to red Salome you can have anything you want Off with Baptist’s head And I’m with Alice in wonderland Skipping through the rain Flowered marbles in our hands As we roll on down the lane As we roll on down the lane As we laugh on down the lane
Thanks for posting and/or doing this. It's one of those times where I've really wanted something to exist and then found out it does. Good on ya!
Very nice, wish it was like this on the album

I found this song just yesterday, fantastic tune but I do agree the way it’s released is odd.
you're welcome !

Did you pass the glass mountain
Where Salome opened her dress
Did you see the dolphins’ feathered fountain
Oh the king made a bloody mess
And the sheep has fading yellow eyes
The minstrel’s magic failed
And the marble Egyptian fireflies
Put on their quilted veils
But the minstrel’s mirror now turns to sand
The sheep his eyes to glass
Salome falls and wets her hair
????????????
Would you rather stumble on Satan’s smile
Or a Catholic saint’s confession
And life is like walking on an endless ????
??????? another lesson
Cleopatra was eating Christmas cake
And playing on her Inca flute
When I whispered ?????????
She said just call me pyramid prostitute
And all my colored water birds
Are talking of flying east
But the operator says it quite absurd
I should think of cutting my wrist
Oh bring me an albino albatross
Saw my Indian beast unfold
Yes I got wealth and coins to toss
But my greatness makes me feel small
Now Salome dances on the granite font
And the king he turns to red
Salome you can have anything you want
Off with Baptist’s head
And I’m with Alice in wonderland
Skipping through the rain
Flowered marbles in our hands
As we roll on down the lane
As we roll on down the lane
As we laugh on down the lane
thanks for putting these together!! a lot of it is lost in the fades ye ! is it okay if I put these lyrics in the description?
Go for it! Thank you for splicing these verses together! It’s such a surreal experience.
Did you pass the glass mountain
Where Salome opened her dress
Did you see the dolphins’ feathered fountain
Oh the king made a bloody mess
Under Sheba’s fading yellow eyes
The minstrel’s magic failed
And the marble Egyptian fireflies
Pulled down their quilted veils
But the minstrel’s mirror now turns to sand
And Sheba’s eyes to glass
Salome falls and wets her hair
In your dreams did you ever pass
Would you rather stumble on Satan’s smile
Or a Catholic saint’s confession
And life is like walking on an endless mile
Each step another lesson
Cleopatra was eating Christmas cake
And playing on her Inca flute
When I whispered, Cleo I’m home from the wake
She said just call me pyramid prostitute
And all my colored water birds
Are talking of flying east
But the operator says it’s quite absurd
I should think of cutting my wrist
Oh bring me an albino albatross
So my Indian beads don’t fall
Yes I’ve got wealth and coins to toss
But my greatness makes me feel small
Now Salome dances on the granite font
And the king he turns to red
Salome you can have anything you want
Off with Baptist’s head
And I’m with Alice in wonderland
Skipping through the rain
Flowered marbles in our hands
As we roll on down the lane
As we roll on down the lane
As we laugh on down the lane
Poo kk
Thank you! :)
