"Workshop of the Telescopes"
One, two
One, two, three, four
By Silverfish Imperatrix, whose incorrupted eye
Sees through the charms of doctors and their wives
By Salamander Drake and the power that was undine
Rise to claim Saturn, ring and sky
By those who see with their eyes closed
You'll know me by my black telescope
Your green tree mantle from which these things derive
A lens of quartz and refract scope
That crystal lens whose crystal rope
Once bound me to those doctors and wives
When my vision was, oh, so cloudy
And I saw things through two eyes
I am a sailor on the raging depths
And I know a thing or two
Back to the corner, mates, and over the side
Yes, I know a thing or two, yeah
By Silverfish Imperatrix, whose incorrupted eye
Sees through the charms of doctors and their wives
By Salamander Drake and the power that was undine
Rise to claim Saturn, ring and sky
By those who see with their eyes closed
You'll know me by my black telescope
Before my great conversion when the ridge was closed
Before my visit to the workshop of telescopes
By Silverfish Imperatrix, whose incorrupted eye
Sees through the charms of doctors and their wives
By Salamander Drake and the power that was undine
Rise to claim Saturn, ring and sky
By those who see with their eyes closed
You'll know me by my
Black telescope
