Sinister Themes |
The villains of vaudeville |
Young lovers' quarrels |
Pearls before parliaments |
Lepers in laurels |
Roses that sprout from the throats of dead kings |
Things in the songs with the sinister themes |
Stockings and starlings |
The laughter of dockworkers |
Poets who flock through the cities like stockbrokers |
Little Red Ridinghood living in sin |
These are the songs with the sinister themes |
Nasturtiums that bloom like voluptuous women |
Joy in the orphan the dolphin when swimming |
Fireworks and phoenixes, spas and hot springs |
Sinister themes in the songs that I sing |
Strumpets and kettledrums, musty old cellars |
Coffee and stallions, cream and umbrellas |
Angels caught up in their own puppet strings |
Sinister themes in the songs that I sing |
The orchid of meat in the cuckoo’s nest growing |
Kisses in syllables, sex when it’s snowing |
Forests where nightmares and nightingales sing |
These are the songs with the sinister themes |
My first is in eMbers, my second in wOman |
My third in eMotion, my fourth is in hUman |
My fifth is in sufferS and also in longS |
My whole is in Momus and these are my songs |
