(G.Brooker / K.Reid / M.Noble)
Rings around the crescent moon
Passions rise from basement rooms
Fountains play and worlds collide
We gently swing and sway from side to side
Dancers in perpetual motion
Slip an' sliding across the floor
Ships our on a moonlit ocean
Sailin' t'ward a distant shore
Star-crossed lovers they spoon and swim
The laughing gods they just reel them in
Hostages they're tempting fate
See them wait down on the line to take the bait
Dancers in perpetual motion
Slip an' sliding across the floor
Ships our on a moonlit ocean
Sailin' t'ward a distant shore
The simple stuff we build our dreams upon
Waxing, waning, now it's almost gone
Passion plays the sweetest tune
These velvet days are gone far too soon
Dancers in perpetual motion
Slip an' sliding across the floor
Ships our on a moonlit ocean
Sailin' t'ward a distant shore
We spend our nights on silken sheets
We play for gold but not for keeps
Dancers in perpetual motion
Slip an' sliding across the floor
Ships our on a moonlit ocean
Sailin' t'ward a distant shore

Procol Harum è un gruppo britannico di art rock, attivo dal 1967 al 1970 e poi sporadicamente fino ai giorni nostri. Considerati uno dei primi esponenti dell'art rock, hanno influenzato profondamente il panorama musicale degli anni '60 e '70. Il loro sound è caratterizzato da un mix di elementi classici, psichedelici e progressivi, con una forte attenzione all'arrangiamento orchestrale. Il gruppo è guidato dalla voce solista Gary Brooker, noto per la sua potente interpretazione e il suo stile vocale unico. Tra i brani più celebri di Procol Harum si ricordano "A Whiter Shade of Pale", "Conquistador" e "Simple Sister". L'album di debutto del gruppo, "Procol Harum", pubblicato nel 1967, è considerato un classico dell'art rock.
