Amon Düül II - Blue Grotto lyrics

(Ludwig, Ludwig Ludwig, du bist so wunderbar Ach Ludwig, du machst mich wahnsinnig) Ludwig Where did you lose your smile Your blue eyes Are dark from sadness Your baby-face Is pale from madness Ludwig Your knee fascinates me Sensitive Dandy Knight of the moonlight Your kiss-proof make-up Is melting at midnight Prince of desire Hypnotized by candlelight You are so Impertinent unreal Curly King Ecstasy is your possession And not daily policy Crawl 'round the Blue Grotto Arm in arm with brother Otto Swan-stoned Ludwig You missed your flight to Disneyland Where all your fantasies Came to a plastic end Swan-stoned Ludwig You failed to find your princess Playing with castles and coaches Ends in distress Your Perfumed panther is watching the pleasure-ground Dreamer of a self-made Atlantis It was denied, to you to slay Young Siegfried's mighty dragon To join King Arthur's conference-table Go down and meet, Ophelia On her swimming bed of roses She's the one to hold your hands Sailing away, sailing away, sailing away On velvet gloves and silky legends To the Empire-Skyscraper-castle You Royal-fairy-tale-rebel
