Procol Harum - New Lamps For Old lyrics

Unable to cope

Unique entertainment...

No longer a joke

The close of the picture...

The end of the show

Merciless torment...

Tortuous blow

New lamps for old...

Bright shiny gold

Innocent youth...

Falsehood for truth

The eye of the needle...

The loss of the thread

Triumphant victor...

Glorious dead

Cause becomes duty...

Duty's the blow

Which kills the picture...

Death of the show

New lamps for old...

Bright shiny gold

Innocent youth...

Falsehood for truth
