Lulu's Song

Chains that she wears like a crown
For to slavery bound from the day they have met
Chains that she's dragging around
Never making a sound from the day she said, 'Yes'

Chains, to keep her tied to the ground
While he is slipping away
Queen in a glorified cage with only silence to page
The lonely night long

Wait for the footsteps to fall, for his voice in the hall
Calling her name again
Pray for all that sweetness long gone
When all that's left is the pain

Shame that she's hiding inside
Hiding misery behind fancy curtains of lace
Vain, she's hoping in vain
He would kindle the flame that once burned in his eyes

Rain that beats like time on the pane
When every second's the same
Rain that beats like time on the pane
When every second's the same

Woman, don't bury that heart of gold
Behind a cold face of stone
