"Tantric Lover" lyrics
The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown Lyrics
Mad Jones sat in his dining room
Pluckin' chicken, eatin' out his heart
It was his delight
It was his delight
And in the mirror to the latest tune
He watched his first love practice her art
It was second sight
It was second sight
Casey saw the armies marching to the beat of drums
Terrible lovers made their guards of men
And killed their heroes in the blindness of fear
And crowned them with the blood of Bethlehem
No rime or reason decorated their headgear
She said it may be someone else's future we got here
As the choirs raised their voices loud and clear
"Is the tantric lover here?
Tantric lover here?
Tantric lover here?"
They both lay in each other's arms
The flesh was potent for the magic dreams
There were sheets of gold
There were sheets of gold
She said, pleading, "Do you wish me ill?"
He said, "I got caught in the in-between"
For my heart is full
For my heart is full
Holding the lips in that undying kiss
While the eyes are soaking up his soul
What was profane in the hall of the dead
In the land of the living fills the holy bone
And we grunt and we gasp in the bliss that clears
While our hearts "Ahh" in the radiance so dear
And the choirs raise their voices loud and clear
"Is the tantric lover here?
Tantric lover here?
Tantric lover here?"
Groans of love in the holy spring
Cries of the worries in the battle zone
As the radiance grew
As the radiance grew
Mad Jones shining in a cul-de-sac
And she's a glistening in his afterglow
It was breaking through
It was breaking through
"Bees are humming in the hive of happiness"
She whispered far in the ocean of sleep
And moved by the roar of the thundering light
He cried as cleaved the home of the deep
And the dark and the light howled in their ears
Held far apart by the blaze of the near
As the choirs raised their voices loud and clear
"Is the tantric lover here?
Tantric lover here?
Tantric lover here?"
"Is the tantric lover here?
Tantric lover here?
Tantric lover here? "
Pluckin' chicken, eatin' out his heart
It was his delight
It was his delight
And in the mirror to the latest tune
He watched his first love practice her art
It was second sight
It was second sight
Casey saw the armies marching to the beat of drums
Terrible lovers made their guards of men
And killed their heroes in the blindness of fear
And crowned them with the blood of Bethlehem
No rime or reason decorated their headgear
She said it may be someone else's future we got here
As the choirs raised their voices loud and clear
"Is the tantric lover here?
Tantric lover here?
Tantric lover here?"
They both lay in each other's arms
The flesh was potent for the magic dreams
There were sheets of gold
There were sheets of gold
She said, pleading, "Do you wish me ill?"
He said, "I got caught in the in-between"
For my heart is full
For my heart is full
Holding the lips in that undying kiss
While the eyes are soaking up his soul
What was profane in the hall of the dead
In the land of the living fills the holy bone
And we grunt and we gasp in the bliss that clears
While our hearts "Ahh" in the radiance so dear
And the choirs raise their voices loud and clear
"Is the tantric lover here?
Tantric lover here?
Tantric lover here?"
Groans of love in the holy spring
Cries of the worries in the battle zone
As the radiance grew
As the radiance grew
Mad Jones shining in a cul-de-sac
And she's a glistening in his afterglow
It was breaking through
It was breaking through

And the dark and the light howled in their ears
Held far apart by the blaze of the near
As the choirs raised their voices loud and clear
"Is the tantric lover here?
Tantric lover here?
Tantric lover here?"
"Is the tantric lover here?
Tantric lover here?
Tantric lover here? "
