Lyrics
Illusions In G Major
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
On the seven seas there was aphantom ship acoming,
Shinin' in the dead of night,
I heard the crew a hummin'
Tunes that sounded like the rolling stones and leonard cohen.
But they didn't know the words,
So i assumed that they was foreign.
Chorus
But i heard them just the same doctor let me teach 'em,
I just wanna please 'em, doctor let me teach 'em.
I looked up in the sky there was a phantom plane a comin',
Shinin' in the dead of night,
I heard the pilot saying,
Poems that were written by john keats and robert browning.
But he didn't know the words so,
I suppose that it was nothing.
Chorus
But i heard them just the same doctor let me teach 'em,
I just wanna please 'em, doctor let me teach 'em.
Doctor please believe me, i know you won't decieve me,
But do these things i'm seein', have any hidden meaning.
It's all good entertainment and it doesn't cost a penny.
So please doc, let me teach 'em, if i could only reach 'em.
Chorus
But i heard them just the same doctor let me teach 'em,
I just wanna please 'em, doctor let me teach 'em.
