[00:04.15] Now in Vienna There's ten pretty women
[00:09.98] There's a shoulder Where Death comes to cry
[00:15.16] There's a lobby With nine hundred windows
[00:20.03] There's a tree Where the doves go to die
[00:25.11] There's a piece That was torn from the morning
[00:30.27] And it hangs in the Gallery of Frost
[00:35.70] Ay Ay Ay Ay
[00:39.93] Take this waltz
[00:42.03] Take this waltz
[00:44.94] Take this waltz With the clamp on it's jaws
[00:55.14] Oh I want you I want you
[00:58.12] I want you
[01:00.61] On a chair with a dead magazine
[01:05.64] In the cave at the tip of the lily
[01:10.32] In some hallways Where love's never been
[01:15.63] On a bed where the moon Has been sweating
[01:20.70] In a cry filled With footsteps and sand
[01:26.25] Ay Ay Ay Ay
[01:30.53] Take this waltz take this waltz
[01:35.68] Take it's broken waist in your hand
[01:46.26] This waltz this waltz
[01:48.64] This waltz this waltz
[01:51.11] With it's very own breath Of brandy and Death
[01:56.62] Dragging it's tail in the sea
[02:03.55] There's a concert hall in Vienna
[02:09.00] Where your mouth Had a thousand reviews
[02:14.13] There's a bar
[02:15.42] Where the boys have stopped talking
[02:18.83] They've been sentenced to death By the blues
[02:24.08] Ah but who is it climbs to your picture
[02:29.32] With a garland of freshly cut tears
[02:34.82] Ay Ay Ay Ay
[02:39.00] Take this waltz
[02:41.05] Take this waltz
[02:44.03] Take this waltz It's been dying for years
[02:54.42] There's an attic Where children are playing
[02:59.93] Where I've got to lie down With you soon
[03:04.87] In a dream of Hungarian lanterns
[03:10.00] In the mist of some sweet afternoon
[03:14.97] And I'll see
[03:16.00] What you've chained to your sorrow
[03:19.96] All your sheep
[03:21.27] And your lilies of snow
[03:25.45] Ay Ay Ay Ay
[03:29.74] Take this waltz take this waltz
[03:34.44] With it's "I'll never forget you You know "
[03:45.46] This waltz this waltz
[03:47.87] This waltz this waltz
[03:50.34] With it's very own breath Of brandy and Death
[03:55.81] Dragging it's tail in the sea
[04:02.70] And I'll dance with you in Vienna
[04:07.84] I'll be wearing a river's disguise
[04:13.21] The hyacinth wild on my shoulder
[04:18.24] My mouth on the dew of your thighs
[04:23.22] And I'll bury my soul in a scrapbook
[04:28.29] With the photographs there And the moss
[04:32.98] And I'll yield to the flood Of your beauty
[04:38.42] My cheap violin and my cross
[04:43.54] And you'll carry me down On your dancing
[04:48.50] To the pools That you lift on your wrist
[04:53.34] Oh my love Oh my love
[04:58.34] Take this waltz take this waltz
[05:03.80] It's yours now
[05:05.22] It's all that there is
