The Vandal And The Saint |
Shielding my eyes against the shatterlight dawn |
As inviting as the wrong end of a gun |
Reluctant farewells |
Then a taxi ride back to the lonesome hotel |
Sharing a room with the Butcher |
Looking for her street on the map |
I had half a mind to go back there |
I had to choose between the vandal and the saint |
She looked like a German film star |
Dressed in limousine black |
A dancer portraying a waitress |
Both ballet and burlesque |
I couldn’t take my eyes off her |
She said she liked the soft songs best |
Oh, Elvira |
A kiss for the vandal and the saint |
I felt like butter on a knife’s edge |
In love with the handsome beast |
And the line between life and stupid glory |
That sets the wicked pace |
I am serving a residency |
Here with the Frankfurt blues |
The ghosts of conquests past |
Walking in a dead man’s shoes |
I believe in the happy idiot |
In the international free state |
I believe in the truth behind the paint that roars |
I believe in the vandal and the saint |
Oh Elvira |
