His Kiss the Riot |
The devil take this Orpheus |
And his belladonna kiss |
Beautiful, poisonous, lovely, deadly |
Dangerous this jack of hearts |
With his kiss, the riot starts |
All my children came here poor |
Clamoring for bed and board |
Now, what do they clamor for? |
Freedom |
Freedom |
Have I made myself their lord |
Just to fall upon the sword |
Of some pauper’s minor chord? |
Who will lead them? |
Who lays all our best-laid plans? |
Who makes work for idle hands? |
Only one thing to be done |
Let them go but let there be some term to be agreed upon |
Some condition |
Orpheus the undersigned shall not turn to look behind |
She’s out of sight and he’s out of his mind |
Every coward seems courageous in the safety of a crowd |
Bravery can be contagious when the band is playing loud |
Nothing makes a man so bold |
As a woman’s smile and a hand to hold |
But all alone his blood runs thin |
And doubt comes- doubt comes in |
