In Arcady So you see how twisted it becomes See how quickly twisted it becomes When the cat gut binds my ankles to your bedstead That ain't love, no that ain't love Said he was your teacher Taught you so true and so wise Now you know more than your teacher I see nothing but cool self-regard in your eyes In Arcady, in Arcady In Arcady, your life trips along Pure and simple as the shepherd's song A few seraphic pipes along the way in Arcady In Arcady, in Arcady In Arcady, in Arcady
