Truth And Fantasy by The Perth County Conspiracy Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 1970

Truth and fantasy
Truth and fantasy
Truth and fantasy lived together

Truth and fantasy
Truth and fantasy
Truth and fantasy live forever

Truth and fantasy lived together
In a never again to be the same way place
Waiting for the light to dawn
Passing through the dreams we sleep upon

"Why don't you look!" said the truth
"Dance!" said fantasy
"Hope!" they cried together
Hoping they would ever and a day
Be passing through the universe of plays

"I cannot stay this journey" stated fantasy at last
"I will not be brought down and thus forsaken
Release me from your aura and awaken to thе hardening of ways."
"I hold not that power" said the truth in pеrfect grace
"For you could not exist without my essence —
Yet I only live forever through your presence in the universe of plays..."

What's that? Wait a minute
Something's out there in the dark
No, I mean if you can't see a thing it's not there
I mean, I'm just trying to help
It just doesn't have anything to do with reality
If you can't see it, it's not there
I mean it's just, it's just somewhere out in the nether world
I don't need to know about it
I don't – it's just weird, and uh, I don't need it
Who wants to know about that stuff?
How is it going to help me?
It's not gonna do me any good, it's just fantasy crap, y'know and...

Come to the edge
What? Well, uh, we might fall
Come to the edge
It's too high!
Come to the edge
And they came, and he pushed, and they flew

[Fantasia]
Would that you could be drifting on the lee side
Sailing on the sea side of the moon
Floating in a sea shell you can watch the sea swell
And fall broken to the sand
The sun is rusting away in the western sky
Reminding me of why I fear the tomb
The goddess fantasia bore a child of whimsy
Playing on a flimsy bed of leaves

The goddess fantasia bore a child of whimsy
Playing on a flimsy bed of leaves

... Truth and fantasy live forever
In a never again to be the same way place
Waiting for the light to dawn
Passing through the dreams we sleep upon

"Why don't you listen!" said the truth
"Sing!" said fantasy
"Love!" they sang together
Knowing they would ever and a day
Be passing through the universe of plays

Truth and fantasy
Truth and fantasy
Truth and fantasy lived together

Truth and fantasy
Truth and fantasy
Truth and fantasy live forever
