The Imaginos version is VERY different from the Brain Surgeons version.  I,
personally, much prefer the Imaginos version.  Note that the Imaginos version
of Gil Blanco County differs a bit from the original, as well.

Lyrics to Girl:

I thought your eyes, blue
"Oh no, they're green," she said to me
We danced in time or didn't you know
This dance was time

At the party of astrologers
The Christmas tide was due
On the way to Alberdan
The dance, the dream and you
Actuals and counterclaims
Dancing all the time
Dancing in the corridor
And the dance was time

At the height of Christmas tide
She found a ghost inside
Give it up or let it ride
She must decide

Actuals and counterclaims
Drugged, reborn, resigned
The castle stands, the girl remains
And if she'll spin
It's packed with eyes
Out there in the corridor
Caught there in the mirror maze
>From her last and loving glance
A waltz, a dance, whose time
Not here but gone is time

So put me to the question
But there's no return from this castle of mine
For the powers that be
The girl and her dreams
The girl that love made blind

And that's the last dream
We had upon that night
The party of astrologers
The Christmas of my life

Christmas, Christmas, the Christmas of my life

Lyrics supplied by Bolle Gregmar, although I made a few corrections, and I'm
afraid another word or two doesn't quite ring true.  The original is quite a
powerful and dramatic piece.  Hopefully someday it will appear on CD!
