Mythical Kings And Iguanas Lyrics - Mythical Kings & Iguanas/reflections In A Mud Puddle - Dory Previn

i have flown 

to star-stained heights 

on bend and battered wings 

in search of 

mythical kings 

mythical kings 

sure that everything of worth 

is in the sky and not the earth 

and i never learned 

to make my way 

down 

down 

down 

where the iguanas play 

i have ridden 

comet tails 

in search of magic rings 

to conjure 

mythical kings 

mythical kings 

singing scraps of angel-song 

high is right and low is wrong 

and i never taught 

myself to give 

down 

down 

down 

where the iguanas live 

astral walks i try to take 

i sit and throw i ching 

aesthetic bards 

and tarot cards 

are the cords 

to which i cling 

don't break my strings 

(i wish you would) 

or i will fall 

(i wish i could 

i wish i could 

i wish i could) 

curse the mind 

that mounts the clouds 

in search of mythical kings 

and only 

mystical things 

mystical things 

cry for the soul 

that will not face 

the body as an equal place 

and i never learned 

to touch for real 

or feel the things 

iguanas feel 

down 

down 

down 

where they play 

teach me 

teach me 

teach me 

reach me.
