Porcupine Tree - Nine Cats текст песни

The butterfly sailed on the breeze,
Past a field of barbed wire trees
Where golden dragons chased around,
Pampered poppies on the ground.
Two silver trout sat way on high
And watched a royal samurai
Plant two black orchids in a box
And strap it to a laughing fox.
A minstrel bought a crooked spoon,
He gave it to a blue baboon
Who filled it full of virgin snow
And watched it in the afterglow.

Fat toad stood in his ballet shoes
Teaching sixteen kangaroos
How to skip across a lake,
They found it hard to stay awake.
A pharaoh played a merry tune
And watched nine cats dance on the moon.
I didn't know what all this meant,
I didn't know why I'd been sent.

I threw 5 clocks down on my bed,
The chimes danced out on golden threads
And turned to footprints on my wall,
Sequined tears began to fall.
