The Colonial Wing (LP版) - 10000 Maniacs[00:00:00]

Written by：Robert Buck[00:00:01]

Here is the storehouse of her majesty[00:00:21]

Well guarded by sentry[00:00:31]

But looks are free[00:00:35]

Call this the rayless and benighted age[00:00:52]

Witches by tallow candles[00:01:03]

Shifted shifted their shapes[00:01:07]

Here is the pestle and mortar[00:01:12]

Ground the poison seed[00:01:15]

A lute a suit for jousting[00:01:17]

And the poems of the balladeers[00:01:19]

When all the latin books were copied me off[00:01:22]

In golden script[00:01:26]

Where hoarded away in[00:01:27]

A monastery crypt[00:01:32]

Superstition[00:01:48]

Superstition beyond belief[00:01:52]

Over mountains over dunes and over seas[00:02:11]

Crude map and compass lead the caravan[00:02:21]

And land the fleets[00:02:27]

Here is the loot and plunder[00:02:34]

They bore home[00:02:37]

Ivory tusk inlaid with precious stone[00:02:39]

Raw silk and spices by the barrel load[00:02:44]

A soft skin drum with mallets[00:02:49]

Of human bone[00:02:53]

A world wide rampage[00:03:07]

Rampage of greed[00:03:11]

So here the tour concludes[00:03:22]

The colonial wing[00:03:27]

The rooms of the most refined[00:03:32]

Museum property[00:03:37]

An early pair of spectacles[00:03:42]

A claw footed divan[00:03:45]

Ornate clocks with birds that strut[00:03:48]

On the half hours and quarter hours[00:03:52]

Hear them chime[00:03:56]
