Genesis "A Trick of the Tail" paroles

A Trick of the Tail

Bored of the life in the city of goldHe'd left and let nobody knowGone were the towers he had known from a childAlong with a dream of a life

He travelled the wide open roadThe blinkered arcadeIn search of another to share in his life, nowhereEveryone looked so strange to him

They got no horns and they got no tailThey don't even know of our existenceAm I wrong to believe in the city of goldThat lies in the deep distance?

He cried and wept as they led him away to a cage"Beast that can talk" read the signThe creatures, they pushed and they prodded his frameAnd questioned his story again

But soon they grew bored of their preyThe beast that can talkMore like a freak or publicity stunt, oh oh, no no

They got no horns and they got no tailThey don't even know of our existenceAm I wrong to believe in the city of goldThat lies in the deep distance?

He cried and broke down the doorOf the cage and marched on outHe grabbed a creature by the scruff of his neck, pointing out

There, beyond the bounds of your weak imaginationLie the noble towers of my city, bright and goldLet me take you there and show you a living storyLet me show you others such as me, why did I ever leave?

"They got no horns and they got no tailThey don't even know of our existenceAm I wrong to believe in the city of goldThat lies in the deep distance?", he cried and wept

And so we set out with the beast and his hornsAnd his crazy description of homeAfter many days journey, we came to a peakWhere the beast gazed abroad and cried out

We followed his gaze and we thought that maybe we sawA spire of gold, no, a trick of the eye, that's allBut the beast was gone and a voice was heard

They got no horns and they got no tailThey don't even know of our existenceAm I wrong to believe in the city of goldThat lies in the deep distance?("Hello friend, welcome home")
