Through the spyglass of a fractured eye
in a realm of the living where the living die
I see the unicorn as he tries to fly
through the spyglass of a fractured eye.

It has been my joy, my folly too
to follow figments.

I am ambassador to what is more
and Prince to all the clowns
I stand in the wings about to fly
through the spyglass of a fractured eye.

If the Walrus ever said,
which I sincerely doubt,
the carpenter would have sailed away
as soon as the tide went out.

if imagining is what can be
is imagining a you then me
in an image imagined by the sea
the she really does sell shells.

The time did come
the sun went down
the darkness washed
grime from the town
and all the time when
I stood by and watched
through the spyglass of a fractured eye.
