|
Sugarplum fairies on parade |
|
The smiling dolls wield the sharpest blade |
|
Candyfloss pink the sequins whirl |
|
Beneath a serpent ready to uncurl |
|
A dealer playing with my state of mind |
|
Roulette wheel the colours were entwined |
|
Black and white Russians were prepared |
|
She staked her claim to the lions share |
|
Dressed in velvet in the limelight |
|
She beckoned me from marble stairs |
|
Long ago with all the dreamers |
|
I fell into her emerald spell |
|
A thousand silver songs that filled the air |
|
Rosary the worry beads of care |
|
I should have understood |
|
the queen of hearts |
|
Played to win right from the start |
|
Dressed in velvet in the limelight |
|
She beckoned me from marble stairs |
|
Long ago with all the dreamers |
|
I fell into her emerald spell |
|
The dice were loaded, knew I was ensnared |
|
Fingers turned to talons in my hair |
|
A rusted door inside a golden cage |
|
A broken chord, a bird that flew away |
|
Dressed in velvet in the limelight |
|
She beckoned me from marble stairs |
|
Long ago with all the dreamers |
|
I fell into her emerald spell |
