Lyrics
Harlequinade
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.
Cheshire grinning villain of my pantomine
Swagger out your vortex just in time
To catch harlequin and columbine out of costume
Come cobra charmer and crash my gate
Trick or treater swindle me some mdma
And let the slapstick clown swap lipstick with pantaloon
Again and again
And we're going for the jugular
And we're going down town
Hopscotch through my playground
Do-do-do
Do-do-do
Do-do-do
Hey de-de bop
Hey de-de bop bop
Hey de-de bop
Hey de-de bop bop
Goddess in an infinity cove
Cuts the caper in a leotard of gold
Does the way she cavort not distort your political view?
Let's masquerade on the promenade
Let's foxtrot across your map
It's a hoedown a showdown a shindig and knees-up too
It's whatever that you want it to be
And we're going for the jugular
And we're going down town
Hopscotch through my playground
Do-do-do
Do-do-do
Do-do-do
No flame burns brighter than yours
No flame burns brighter than yours
Indeed many try
So tie the knot into your tie
Zip your zip and flick your zippo
Light we have the target in our sight
And we're going for the jugular
And we're going down town
Hopscotch through my playground
Do-do-do
Do-do-do
Do-do-do
