"Mistresses and Masters" is from the 2001 "Dali Sky" album. Much of that album is inspired and informed by a film called "A Soft Portrait of Salvador Dali". This equivalent of a folk/rock song alludes to that.
lyrics
The man who sold the world is now a hustler and a miser
He feels no more wiser than he did before the deal
It must have been a myth that he could have been a martyr
The moment that he tried to he had better things to do
The social pages claim he is selling something new
He rebuilt the pyramids out of Sony ghetto-blasters
Now his music's playing louder than it's ever been before
He photographed your world with a million tiny cameras
Then he put them on display for your Mistresses and Masters
He stole like Robin Hood ~ But he gave like Ma Teresa
Then he overmaxed his Visa to push prozac on the world
One thing is for sure: The world is spinning faster
Now he only lives to entertain your Mistresses and Masters
What started out as fact has turned into science fiction
All the curfews and restrictions have been lifted from the world
So go out and paint the sky green and gold and alabaster
For the pleasure of your eyes and your Mistresses and Masters
