The Nostalgia Factory Lyrics - Porcupine Tree

A Caterpillar crawled to me one day and said 

Oh what the hell goes on inside your swollen head? 

I don't believe that you can see as much as I 

Now close your eyes and tell me what do you spy? 

I watched nine cats dance on the moon 

A flamingo stalked into my room 

It bowed its head to me and knelt 

To reveal the cards it had dealt 

An ace, three jacks, two queens, four kings 

Then turned them into burning rings 

The flames jumped out and chased four mice 

Caught by their tails they turned to ice.

A cloud appeared outside my door 

And through the window saw four more 

And on the back of each cloud sat 

Two rainbow smiles in wizard's hats 

They threw five clocks down on my bed 

The chimes danced out on golden threads 

And turned to footprints on my wall 

Sequined tears began to fall.

The caterpillar gasped at me and said 

My god if that's what's going on inside your head 

You can see so much more than I 

I think it's time to turn into a butterfly.
