Somewhere on a night so sheer

Up before my trail of tears

She was the Belle of my Burlesque

Lyrics

Somewhere on a night so sheer
Up before my trail of tears
I see her smile her sombre smile
And for a while I disappear

She was the Belle of my Burlesque
Such a Beautiful Grotesque
Some sweet zephyr take this prayer to her

From the ditch my tears I choke
I know how to ta
But this time its not funny, no
Its hysterical

She was the Belle of my Burlesque
Such a Beautiful Grotesque
Some sweet zephyr take this prayer to her

What the earth is to the sun
And a bullet to a gun
I feel my was and my will be
Wheel her memory..

She was the Belle of my Burlesque
Such a Beautiful Grotesque
Some sweet zephyr take this prayer to her
