We skip the life and then go
Turned cobwheels across the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
And the crowd called out for more
As the room was humming harder
And the ceiling slipped away As we called out for another drink
And the waiter brought his tray And so it was all later
As the miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
Turned a white-out
shade of pale
They say there is no reason
But the truth is plain to see
As I wandered through my playing cards
I could not let her be
One of sixteen Vestal Virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might just as well been closed
And so it was all later As the miller told his tale
That her
face at first just ghostly
Turned a white-out
shade of pale
