about

The melodies he composed were so enthralling that he often became oblivious to all his surroundings and abandoned himself to the charms of his own subtle music. His body swayed and trembled with pure joy and delight as he gave forth strain after strain from his sharati; yet so cautious was he that none of his neighbours suspected that he possessed any gifts, for he feared to let it be known lest it should interfere with the performance of his vow. [Mrs. Rafy]

lyrics

Well the Cliffs of Mohr
are a place I've never been to before
and that's an obvious rhyme
but I don't have the time
to think of something more clever
since you've gone to wherever
it is when you go, and I have to pack
so when you get back
I can say the story's finally over

And I think I just might beat you
all the way to Machu Picchu
where I'll climb in the sky
and the stars will all cry
because I'm so stupid and silly
that I've gilded a lily
but my memory is shot to hell
which us really just as well
now that the story's finally over

there's no sequel, there's no prequel,
and the only thing that's equal
about it is both of us lost--
there's no lesson, and I'm guessin'
I don't have your blessing
but I always keep my fingers crossed

I know it costs quite a lot
to get all the way to Angkor Wat
but I've got time and no money
and everything just seems funny
so I'm laughing way too hard
as the Gendarme stamps my card
and I get lost in Vishnu's shack
it doesn't matter if I ever come back
because the story's finally over...

there's no sequel, there's no prequel,
and the only thing that's equal
about it is both of us lost--
there's no lesson, and I'm guessin'
I don't have your blessing
but I always keep my fingers crossed

Happily never after
oh hell, it's just as well
cross your fingers, touch wood,
go find a new story to tell
