lyrics
Gallimaufry, Gallimaufry
He was a friend of mine
Gallimaufry, Gallimaufry
So needing to be enshrined
Come unto me, he said
Liable to end up dead
Gallimaufry, Gallimaufry
Running through space and time
Gallimaufry, Gallimaufry
Searching to find my own mind
All manner of devilry
Whatever means necessary
Gallimaufry
Gallimaufry, Gallimaufry
Played me like a broken fiddle
Crazy-making Gallimaufry
A spectacle held up to ridicule
Come unto me, he said
Better with me, just dead
Gallimaufry
Gallimaufry, Gallimaufry
So disingenuous
[Narcissistic] Gallimaufry
Impervious to psychoanalysis
All such a tangled mess
A regular dog’s breakfast
Gallimaufry
Gallimaufry
Gallimaufry
Gallimaufry, Gallimaufry
Gordonian knot has been severed
Gallimaufry, Gallimaufry
Felonious theatre of the absurd
Never again, I say
Shall I be under your sway
Gallimaufry, Gallimaufry
Farewell, O king of fools
Gallimaufry, Gallimaufry
The Lord rebuke you
Never again, I say
Shall I be under your sway
Never again will you have your way
Never again will you have your way
And in the Name I pray
The Name above all names
Gallimaufry
Gallimaufry
Gallimaufry
Gallimaufry
Gallimaufry
Gallimaufry, Gallimaufry
He was a friend of mine.
