Verse 2: 
 
	Phallus Phil tries peddling 
	His pewter painted pot 
	But Sousa Sam could only hear 
	Screams of Pete the Sot 
	Buddha sips his Creme deMenthe 
	From terra cotta cups 
	And exhales menthol-scented breath 
	While spewing   verbiage up 
 
Instrumental break: 
 
	(guitar solo over verse chords) 
 
Verse 3: 
 
	Down technical blind alleys 
	Live the race of former dreams 
	These who walk across them  
	Are no longer what they seem 
	Even Christian Scientists 
	Can but display marble plaques 
	Which only retell legends 
	While my eyes   reach out for facts 
	Yeah, my eyes reach out for facts
