Lookin' up through the clouds above my head...
To space concealed by purple mist and a hue of red.
As it slowly clears, at last my eyes are fed.
Sunny cellophane skies...
Silver light in my eyes...
Bright sunny cellophane skies!
I like the way they make me feel...
Sensations thought to be unreal.
The pictures that I see are seen by no one else but me.
Who knew the night could be inside a little point of light?
As I imagine nearly anything that I wanna' see...
The poison gaze in your mind's eye is worrying me.
Black veils of melancholy falling on me...
Black veils are shadowing my mind.
Black veils to make my mind seem small!
I see it with my eyes closed, getting closer and closer...
But when I look, it won't be there and so I realize...
Finally, my mind has gone...
Far away from a world where I don't belong.
So long...
Sunny cellophane skies...
about
Though it may seem a strange selection, "Sunny Cellophane Veils Of Melancholy" is actually an amalgamation of two psychedelic nuggets penned by The Status Quo in 1968 (before they traded their paisley pop for denim and distortion) and in standard Saturn III fashion, the songs have been re-imagined and stitched together, illustrating a much darker reflection on death in the outer limits of one's own psyche. Listen up and reach for the sky or perhaps, discover what awaits on the other side.
