The Great Deceiver Lyrics - Singles - King Crimson

Health-food faggot with a bartered bride 

Likes to comb his hair with a dipper ride 

Once had a friend with a cloven foot 

Once he called the tune in a chequered quit 

Great Deceiver 

In the door on the floor in a paper bag 

There's a shoe-shine boy with a gin-shop slag 

She raised him up and she called him son 

And she canonised the ground that he walked upon

Great Deceiver 

Cigarettes, ice cream, figurines of the Virgin Mary 

Cigarettes, ice cream, figurines of the Virgin Mary 

Cigarettes, ice cream, cadillacs blue jeans 

In the night he's a star in the Milky Way 

He's a man of the world by the light of day 

A golden smile and a proposition 

And the breath of God smells of sweet sedition 

Great Deceiver 

Sing hymns make love get high fall dead 

He'll bring his perfume to your bed 

He'll charm your life 'til the cold winds blow 

Then he'll sell your dreams to a picture show
