Lyrics The Nostalgia Factory (Remastered) - Porcupine Tree

A Caterpillar crawled to me one day and said
Oh what the hell goes on inside your swollen head?
I don't believe that you can see as much as I
Now close your eyes and tell me what do you spy?

I watched nine cats dance on the moon
A flamingo stalked into my room
It bowed its head to me and knelt
To reveal the cards it had dealt
An ace, three jacks, two queens, four kings
Then turned them into burning rings
The flames jumped out and chased four mice
Caught by their tails they turned to ice.

A cloud appeared outside my door
And through the window saw four more
And on the back of each cloud sat
Two rainbow smiles in wizard's hats
They threw five clocks down on my bed
The chimes danced out on golden threads
And turned to footprints on my wall
Sequined tears began to fall.

The caterpillar gasped at me and said
My god if that's what's going on inside your head
You can see so much more than I
I think it's time to turn into a butterfly.
