Cat Black (The Wizard's Hat) Lyrics
Catblack the wizard's hat
Spun in lore from Dagamoor
The skull of jade was pearl inlaid
The silks, skin spun, repelled the Sun
A tusk of boar with dwarfish awe
Sobs on the door where stood before
A mountain man with sky-blue teeth
Upon his head a python's wreath
A deer he slew in the dawning's dew
Her heart was a dagger for a murderer's brew.
A toad of jet on a sill cast in brass
Portrayed for his sight mysteries of the past
A yellow orphan dancer rich in Nature's costly gold
Wept for the jailer of time to bless her old
But his kiss he held and shadowed for the spell of nights are strong
And spiralled like a whirlwind in the childhood of a song
Catblack the wizard's back
Daubed in doom in his tounge tombed room
We of the wind must rejoice and speak
And kiss all our starbrowed brothers on the cheek.
Spun in lore from Dagamoor
The skull of jade was pearl inlaid
The silks, skin spun, repelled the Sun
A tusk of boar with dwarfish awe
Sobs on the door where stood before
A mountain man with sky-blue teeth
Upon his head a python's wreath
A deer he slew in the dawning's dew
Her heart was a dagger for a murderer's brew.
Portrayed for his sight mysteries of the past
A yellow orphan dancer rich in Nature's costly gold
Wept for the jailer of time to bless her old
But his kiss he held and shadowed for the spell of nights are strong
And spiralled like a whirlwind in the childhood of a song
Daubed in doom in his tounge tombed room
We of the wind must rejoice and speak
And kiss all our starbrowed brothers on the cheek.

The spell of nights is strong, that's what this song is about... and spiralled like a whirlwind in the childhood of the song.. that's genious
Could these lyrics be more wrong?
Here's the lyrics for the actual song:
Catblack the wizard hat Spun in lore from Dagamoor The skull of jade is pearl inlaid The silk skin spun repels the sun
A tusk of boar with Dwarfish awe Sobs on the door where stood before A mountain man with sky-blue teeth Upon his head a python wreath
A deer he slew in the dawning's dew Her heart was a dagger for a murderer's brew
A toad of jet on a sill cast in brass Portrayed for his sight mysteries of the past A yellow orphan dancer rich in Nature's costly gold Wept for the jailer of time to bless her old But his kiss he held & shadowed for the spell of nights are strong & spiralled like a whirlwind in the childhood of a song
Catblack the wizard's back Daubed in doom in his tongue-tombed room We of the wind must rejoice & speak & kiss all our starbrowed brothers on the cheek
@vchamberlain The lyrics shown are from the original Catblack, without the wizard's hat, recorded around 1967.

Oh, now I see. These are the lyrics to a different Marc Bolan tune. The lyrics I put up (which for some reason appeared twice) are for the Tyrannosaurus Rex tune "Catblack (The Wizard's Hat)." My bad.
