Turned a whiter shade of pale. She said, there is no reason And the truth is plain to see’ But I wandered through my playing cards And would not let her be One of sixteen vestal virgins Who were leaving for the coast And although my eyes were open They might have just as well’ve been closed. And so it was that later As the miller told his tale That her face at first just ghostly Turned a whiter shade of pale. If music be the food of love Then laughter is its queen And likewise if behind is in front Then dirt in truth is clean My mouth by then like cardboard Seemed to slip straight through my head So we crash-dived straightway quickly And attacked the ocean bed.
