You tired of passions long ago now/ And you were the fashion of the age/ You gazed upon that mirror:/ feeble face, you’re a lip-bitten sinner/ You know there’s not a soul to save/ You were the charm of Pleasure’s pains, Lord/ And you challenged gods to fateful duels/ Your opal eyes did glimmer/ Stripped of skin, you’re a blood-bathed swimmer/ Apollo put you in your grave/ So make me a wizard’s hat/ ‘cause I’d like to take the meanness out of you/ You smirk like the Cheshire Cat/ Your eyes, the Northern Lights, oh how they bruise/ We sailed for freedom long ago, now/ But we never reached the other shore/ Your feathers all are molting/ Without your beauty, are you nothing?/ This death will change forever more/ So make me a wizard’s hat/ ‘cause I’d like to take the meanness out of you/ You smirk like the Cheshire Cat/ Your eyes, the Northern Lights, oh how they bruise.
