Lyrics:
FIREWORKS OVER VERSAILLES
What were you expecting?
Fireworks over Versailles?
All I felt was trepidation
As we pulled into
The Finland Station
To kiss the empire goodbye
Don't you know
It's not freedom I crave?
It's just a little tenderness
Before I hit the grave
You've been preparing
Like Columbus
With his bearings
As if our love is here
To be discovered
But our unhappy capers
Will never make the papers
We're just
Nothing special lovers
Like a billion others
Don't you know
It's not freedom I crave?
It's just a little tenderness
Before I hit the grave
Tonight the moon is full
And we are free men
You push me up against
The wonder of it all
With opera glasses
A bible, and a hatpin
What am I supposed to do
With these things?
