Carousel spinning round and round
Painted horses guard the killing ground
Houdini’s ghost lends a helping hand
Save your prayers for Superman
Charcoal skies and hornet’s nests
Soldiers dressed in their Sunday best
Behind them plays a marching band
Welcome to Cloud Cuckoo Land
Mirrors reflect a blood red sea
The lion tamer sips his tea
Ribbon dancers comes undone
Burning under an electric sun
Organ grinder plays a funeral dirge
To wild applause as the clowns converge
Ringmaster waves his velvet hand
Welcome to Cloud Cuckoo Land
Dreams for sale every Saturday
Half priced popcorn at the matinee
One eyed rabbit lurks behind the door
Selling memories of a secret war
Lost girls waiting for the midnight show
Curtains part as the cameras roll
Under the spotlight, center stage
Skeleton dances in a skintight cage
And as the orchestra plays on…
We dance to the same old song
Sky parade floats above the crowds
Glowing bright above the clouds
Scarecrow plays an ancient song
And claps as the madcap sings along
Ferris wheel lighting up the night
Carnival barker dressed in white
Kissing ghosts beneath the stands
Welcome to Cloud Cuckoo Land
Lollipop lovers in perfumed tents
Feasting on remembered scents
Hendrix wails on saxophone
Playing Captain Marvel home
Round and round on the merry go round
Horse’s hooves drowning out the sound
Of Peter Pan’s psychedelic band
Welcome to Cloud Cuckoo Land
Dreams for sale every Saturday
Madness at the matinee
One eyed jack puts on his cloak
And disappears in a puff of smoke
Lights go dim, the music stops
Stage crew gathers up the props
The curtain closed, the crowds depart
Lost girls counting up the broken hearts
And as the orchestra plays on…
We dance to the same old song
Little Bo Peep in too deep
Dreaming of electric sheep
Last seen in the twilight zone
Chilling out on methadone
Tiger Lilly superstar
Hanging out in Dali’s car
Turning on with Timothy Leary
Blew her mind on quantum theory
Tinkerbell lost her way
Fell off the shelf DOA
Laid to rest upon a bed of stones
Glitter girls picking at her bones
Mary Mary quite contrary
Married an apothecary
Peter Pan broke up the band
Welcome to Cloud Cuckoo Land
