The Great Deceiver Lyrics

I'm surprised no one has mentioned that "Cigarettes, ice cream, figurines of the Virgin Mary" is the only King Crimson lyric that Robert Fripp wrote. It was allegedly inspired by souvenirs at Vatican City.

The Great Deceiver is a common name for the devil (as King Crimson is a less common name for the same).
