The Colonial Wing - 10000 Maniacs Written by:Robert Buck Here is the storehouse of her majesty
Well guarded by sentry But looks are free
Call this the rayless and benighted age
Witches by tallow candles
Shifted shifted their shapes
Here is the pestle and mortar Ground the poison seed A lute a suit for jousting And the poems of the balladeers When all the latin books were copied me off In golden script Where hoarded away in
A monastery crypt
Superstition
Superstition beyond belief
Over mountains over dunes and over seas
Crude map and compass lead the caravan
And land the fleets
Here is the loot and plunder
They bore home
Ivory tusk inlaid with precious stone
Raw silk and spices by the barrel load A soft skin drum with mallets
Of human bone
A world wide rampage Rampage of greed
So here the tour concludes The colonial wing
The rooms of the most refined
Museum property
An early pair of spectacles A claw footed divan
Ornate clocks with birds that strut On the half hours and quarter hours
Hear them chime
