Lyrics
Dark Clouds Gather Over Vanity Fair
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Among the party Illuminati, the night-life glitterati
I stand out like a shining light
I stand out like black on white
Another drunk to light my cigarette
Too-fucked up for the jet-set
I tune in to the manual static
I tune in to the automatic
Sexual innuendos up all in the scene
Alcoholic tension makes everything surreal
Suffer heartbreak, dreams of power
Prince of darkness, cocaine showers
(I play this ghastly tune, on a pile of champagne flutes
I pay the devil's due, so that I could stay with you.) x2
It's fabulous now, time to blow
Striking hearts of dandy foes
A city made of glass and mirrors
A city for a shining sellout
I put on gold and rose and pose-
A holy ghost in a brand-new Rolls
Son of fire, son of flame
Son of Neptune on display
Sexual innuendos up all in the scene
Alcoholic tension makes everything surreal
Suffer heartbreak, dreams of power
Prince of darkness, cocaine showers
(I play this ghastly tune, on a pile of champagne flutes
I pay the devil's due, so that I could stay with you)
Sexual innuendos up all in the scene
Alcoholic tension makes everything surreal
Suffer heartbreak, dreams of power
Prince of darkness, cocaine showers
(I play this ghastly tune, on a pile of champagne flutes
I pay the devil's due, so that I could stay with you)
