So you'll be an |
|
Austrian nobleman |
|
Commissioning a symphony in |
|
CWhich defies all earthly descriptions |
|
You'll be commissioning a symphony in |
|
CWith money you squeeze from the peasants |
|
To your nephew you can give it as a present |
|
This magnificent symphony in |
|
CYou'll be commissioning a symphony in |
|
CCompletely filling the palace concert hall |
|
It's warm and golden like an oven that's wide open |
|
It has a melody both happy and sad |
|
Built on Victoria's young triads |
|
You've entered the room with great caution |
|
Though no one in the hall is even watching |
|
They are transfixed they are forgetting just to breath |
|
They are so taken by your symphony in |
|
CYou're sitting there thinking your thoughts |
|
They are not about what is but what is not |
|
You are sitting there breathing in your breath |
|
You are seldom breathing life but mostly death |
|
So you'll be an |
|
Austrian nobleman |
|
Commissioning a symphony in |
|
CWhich defies all earthly descriptions |
|
You'll be commissioning a symphony in |
