Veiled Threats Over Cocktails
Hermes grasps his mossy world atop the ancient rotting plinth A melodrama plays beneath his feet. Watching they that nightly meet and duel with deadly razored tongues; Whilst quaffing, deeply, drinking from the tankard of deceit. Accessories to misadventure, sneering steering fate Attired in silken finery and gilded laces, airs and graces Strutting, preening counterparts and guests unto the proud Estate. The cut and thrust of conversation parries back and forth, To wit and wonder wordsmiths wind the way, Of reputations ground beneath the fashionable leather heel; And social standings crushed for sake of jape and idle play. Symbol, system, metaphor - choose thy weaponry But just because that you have eyes does not mean you can see. Veiled threats over cocktails - Rigid Timings - Sex and Money, Power and Art.
Poisoned smiles etched just so perfectly do grimace 'pon their leaded faces... You, Sir, speaking in a manner ill advised, and dressing in a fashion now chastised; You seem to me as one disguised, despised and compromised. And you, Sir, walking in a style now seen effete, And whistling in a way ne'er seen discrete You lack the air to fair compare, nor sit with the elite. Yes, You, Sir, standing in an aspect too contrite What fashionable words do you recite? 更多更详尽歌词 在 ※ Mojim.com 魔镜歌词网 I say, by that display you sound as impotent by day as you perform at night.
Mark me, all those who see - Put out my eyes, This snake that slips into your paradise; And weave your lies, deceive - And on this eve I pray I live to see the light of day.
Pride that comes before a fall, inspires a man to crawl Into a corner, least his name be brought to ridicule. In wordplay oh, so cruel; best never play the fool Least you be fast upon the mast, lambasted, and socially outcast.
Delusive words and conversations To our armouries acquire - Schadenfreude like Chardonnay So sweet to the taste but much drier. Four garments and a ladder do not lead us blind On through the garden; on the way a corpse we'll find.
Augustan rhythms tenfold and quick-made cadence of the speech Will bring to light those who you would expose. But should the artist always draw yet truly what he perceives to see? Or should he illustrate that what he knows?
