[Intro]

                       


[Verse]

          
We skipped the

o
          
turned cartwhe

              
els 'cross the

     
 floor
          
I was feeling 

             
kinda seasick
          
but the crowd 

            
called out for

      
 more
          
The room was h

            
umming harder
          
as the ceiling

           
 flew away
          
When we called

            
 out for anoth

     
er drink
          
the waiter bro

       
ught a tray

And so it was,

         
___ that later

as the miller 

            
told his tale
          
that her face,

[Verse 2]

          
She said there

            
 is no reason
          
And the truth 

            
is plain to se

    
e
          
But I wandered

             
 through my pl

       
aying cards
          
Would not let 

           
her be
          
One of sixteen

            
 vestal virgin
