Procol Harum - The Piper's Tune lyrics

And so you've made a nasty mess; You have caused your mother great distress They're bound to even up the score You'll get no sweeties anymore They'll give your friends a talking to Persuade them not to play with you. They'll tell them 'bout your awful crime There'll be no second chance this time It seems they're out to take your skin They'll cut you up and throw you in They say you've led them up the path And now they'll take their turn to laugh They say they laid a careful trap And now you've fallen in their lap. They're out to make a sacrifice And you're the one to pay the price. It's no use knocking on the door There's none can help you anymore You've gambled and your chance was lost And now you'll have to pay the cost You wouldn't take your mum's advice And now you'll have to pay the price They say the piper calls the tune You'll hear his music very soon.
