Thick As a Brick (Edit No. 1)

Really don't mind if you sit this one out

My words but a whisper, your deafness a shout

I may make you feel, but I can't make you think

Your sperm's in the gutter, you love's in the sink

So you ride yourself over the fields

And you make all your animal deals

And your wisemen don't know how it feels

To be thick as a brick

And your sandcastle virtues are all swept away

In the tidal destruction, the moral melee

The elastic retreat rings the close of play

As the last wave uncovers the new-fangled way

But your new shoes are worn at the heels

And your suntan does rapidly peel

And your wisemen don't know how it feels

To be thick as a brick

And the love that I feel is so far away

I'm a bad dream that I've just had today

And you shake your head

And said, "It's a shame"

Spin me back down the years and the days of my youth

Draw the lace and black curtains and shut out the whole truth

Spin me down the long ages

Let them sing a song
