[00:21.870] | I came so far for beauty |
[00:26.680] | I left so much behind |
[00:29.550] | |
[00:31.430] | My patience and my family |
[00:34.929] | |
[00:37.598] | masterpiece My unsigned |
[00:40.689] | |
[00:40.877] | I thought I'd be rewarded |
[00:44.567] | |
[00:45.317] | For such a lonely choice |
[00:48.437] | |
[00:50.877] | And surely she would answer |
[00:54.688] | To such a hopeless very voice |
[00:58.137] | |
[01:07.437] | I practiced all my sainthood |
[01:11.279] | |
[01:12.457] | I gave to one and all |
[01:16.337] | |
[01:18.457] | But the rumours of my virtue |
[01:22.527] | |
[01:24.457] | They moved her not at all |
[01:28.587] | |
[01:42.788] | I changed my style to silver |
[01:46.616] | |
[01:47.547] | I changed my clothes to black |
[01:51.866] | |
[01:53.357] | And where I would surrender |
[01:57.985] | |
[02:00.486] | Now I would attack |
[02:03.617] | |
[02:16.620] | I stormed the old casino |
[02:20.860] | For the money and the flesh |
[02:26.150] | |
[02:28.470] | And I myself decided |
[02:32.529] | |
[02:33.900] | What was rotten and what was fresh |
[02:37.900] | |
[02:40.290] | And men to do my bidding |
[02:43.340] | |
[02:45.660] | And broken bones to teach |
[02:49.150] | |
[02:51.390] | The value of my pardon |
[02:54.910] | |
[02:56.350] | The shadow of my reach |
[03:01.600] | |
[03:14.800] | But no, I could not touch her |
[03:18.600] | |
[03:20.170] | With such a heavy hand |
[03:23.920] | |
[03:25.910] | Her star beyond my order |
[03:30.500] | |
[03:31.900] | Her nakedness unmanned |
[03:36.0] | |
[03:39.350] | end |
