The Beach Boys — Surfs Up 1967 Solo version

The diamond necklace played [Two, three, four...] The diamond necklace played the pawn Hand in hand some drummed along, oh To a handsome mannered baton A blind class aristocracy Back through the op'ra glass you see The pit and the pendulum drawn Columnated ruins domino! [Two, three, four...] Hung velvet overtaken me Dim chandelier awaken me To a song dissolved in the dawn The music hall; a costly bow The music, all is lost for now To a muted trumpeter's swan Columnated ruins domino! Canvass the town and brush the backdrop Are you sleeping, Brother John?

[Let's hear that!]
