I Came So Far For Beauty Paroles

For such a lonely choice
And surely she would answer
To such a very hopeless voice

I practiced all my sainthood
I gave to one and all
But the rumours of my virtue,
They moved her not at all

I changed my style to silver
I changed my clothes to black
And where I would surrender,
I would attack

I stormed the old casino
For the money and the flesh
And I myself decided
What was rotten and what was fresh

And men to do my bidding But oh, I could not touch her
With such a heavy hand
Her star beyond my order
Her nakedness unmanned
