When I think of what passes in this world For a merciful regard to mute appeals And all the wheels of justice turning smoothly Through the haze of clever deals and smell of burning A dream of fair women A dream of fair women soothes me And when I think of the paid liars in this world Their bulging files and alley-cat ideals And all of the good they sally forth to sully Through the buzz of wheels in wheels and glare of smiles A dream of fair women A dream of fair women lulls me And I dream the dream of fair women Like many a poor mental refugee Like many a sad madcap before me When I think of what passes in this world And how the liars help to get it done With a hint not to disturb oneself unduly Through the teeming ashen air between the fires A dream of fair women A dream of fair women cools me And I dream the dream of fair women Like many a Casanova past his prime Like many an old roué out of time When I think of what passes in this world And how the liars help to get it done With a hint not to disturb oneself unduly Through the teeming ashen air between the fires Far from my thoughts but close to my desires A dream of fair women A dream of fair women cools me A dream of fair women A dream of fair women cools me Cools me Rules me | |||||
