Cross Canadian Ragweed

Lighthouse Keeper

Cross Canadian Ragweed


VERSE 1: 
A long haired man came to my door 
Wearing roman sandles, carrying a golden sword 
Said come with me, and I'll take you higher. 
We soared out of the atmosphere 
On his magic carpet that he let me steer 
He said take the ring, son, and I'll let you fly her. 
We escalated through a thick of clouds 
And our only thought was not coming down 
Towards the amber glow I started to feel the fire. 
It was a unicorn with a neon arm 
Wearing a belted saddle that was slightly worn 
And I pulled my mystic rug right up beside her. 
I sat down on a floatin stool 
She knealt her head and produced a jewel 
I smiled and asked, If I could ride her. 
CHORUS: 
And I saw the lighthouse keeper. 
His hollow eyes that pierced my soul 
He said that I'm just a desperate seeker 
Searching for what I did not know. 
VERSE 2: 
I was peggin since I was flying free 
A careless loss of a purple sea 
When I came upon a lonesome fortune teller. 
She gazed into a crystal ball 
And I saw that giant gavel fall 
And she asked if I could be her pallbearer. 
I heard that gypsy prophesize 
Of the tearing flesh and the mothers' cry 
And the crimson flow of blood that would run forever. 
We stood before the Kings and Queens 
And a hooded man with a guillotine 
And prepared to meet the eternal tax collector. 
Then a dying man with an aristocrat 
On his balcony with a welcome mat 
And he laughed and drank all the wine from his cellar. 
REPEAT CHORUS, GUITAR SOLO 'TIL END OF SONG
