now that they've dug it all up a spoonful at a time gonna map it with lasers and preserve it for all time modern archaeologists they use the tools modern archaeologists they're no fools trying to solve a puzzle and put together the rhyme did the story of poets really happen at that time modern archaeologists they use the tools modern archaeologists they're no fools reconstructing history a piece at a time digging through the layers no telling what they'll find lower and lower they go now that they've dug it all up a spoonful at a time gonna find a new place to investigate and see what they can find modern archaeologists they use the tools modern archaeologists they're no fools modern archaeologists they use the tools modern archaeologists they're no fools

Wandering these halls Stepping through paintings Like the ghoul of the grounds No other un-damned around Wish for shroud of sweet sleep Only company's hinges' squeak Oh the floorboards moan Getting so bored alone Been wandering these moors and knolls Looking - are there other poltergeists? A lover's maze in a knot Maybe we've all gone to rot Wandering these halls Stepping through mirrors Some ghoul of the grounds No other un-maimed around I've been wandering these moors and knolls Are there any other poltergeists? A lover's maze in a knot We've all gone to rot

I wish I could be like Albert Lin And have all of his enthusiasm Hangin' out of choppers in the Middle East And finding Mayan ruins with the laser beams Go Albert Go! I wish I could be like Albert Lin And have all of his enthusiasm Helpin' solve mysteries at Blick Mead And diving next to Varna in the Black Sea Go Albert Go! ... I wish I could be like Albert Lin And have all of his enthusiasm Flying drones high above the trees Mapping out top-ology Finding more lost cities Albert Lin

I'm your cemetery guide Madame's mausoleum on your left side All the tulips are blooming, resting Lying quietly near "Though you never possessed Me / I have belonged To you since The beginning of time" I'm your ghost tour guide Monsieur's angels and benches beckon There are daisies, lambs, and baskets No we don't lack in visits I'm your cemetery hostess Thank you for being our warm guest You're our an-gelic future We're waiting with daisies We're waiting "Though you never possessed Me / I have belonged To you since The beginning of time" . poet Mina Loy in the Chorus: ('Three Moments in Paris:' Though you had never possessed me I had belonged to you since the beginning of time...)
