Cover art for Exiles lyrics by King Crimson

You know what? With many KC songs (as well as another favorite, Steely Dan) sometimes it's best to simply let the sounds of the phonemes flow over you, without really giving them much "meaning".....the mere pronunciation and verbal poly-syllabic quality of the lyric is enough to really push a good song into the stratosphere, with/without attempting to find a meaning.
