Svengali |
| Blue shadows |
| A Venetian parade |
| Eyes on a starlet who was yet to be made |
| He had the thin blue lips |
| And a fingerless glove |
| He was a hunter for a prey |
| To put his prints on |
| Oh, Svengali |
| Oh, Svengali |
| Wide eyes mesmerize |
| Ain’t he clever |
| Oh, Svengali |
| He set stages from Vienna to Rome |
| He promised flowers and footlights |
| If she’d only leave home |
| When he secured her passage on an Aegean ship |
| She didn’t know of the power |
| In an evil man’s grip |
| I knew you when… |
| You saw a scene in the clouds |
| You saw a man in the moon |
| And your mood was enthralling |
| You could weep for a falling star |
| He’ll take you deep in his debt |
| He’s wanting all he can get |
| Will your heart hold the virtue? |
| You’ve never known that power |
| That the evil men use |
| Gone |
| Cried the madman |
| As he slapped her to life |
| And then a cold wind slowly sucked him into the night |
| So come away |
| To the refuge they can never control |
| They’ll try to steal your body |
| But they can’t touch your soul |
