It was, to me, real though undefined
a not-too-deep but nagging mystery
the explanation of which I assigned
taken in context of its history
everybody knows it, everybody sings
ridiculous words they can't understand
but trust the listener to grasp what it means
or trust the judgment of a classic rock band
maurice, you were my inspiration
and this might be the craziest thing you've heard
but i've conducted a thorough investigation
and 'pompitous' is not a word.

Yep, I learned that a while ago. There was a whole talk show on the radio that was all about that particular lyric and what it could mean. They even interviewed the singer of "Maurice" about it. My memory fails me on the particulars however. Imagine that.
