Sinister Themes lyrics

The villains of vaudeville, young lovers' quarrels Pearls before parliaments, lepers in laurels Roses that sprout from the throats of dead kings Things in the songs with the sinister themes Stockings and starlings, the laughter of dockworkers Poets who flock through the cities like stockbrokers Little Red Ridinghood living in sin These are the songs with the sinister themes Nasturtiums that bloom like voluptuous women Joy in the orphan, the dolphin when swimming Fireworks and phoenixes, spas and hot springs Sinister themes in the songs that I sing Strumpets and kettledrums, musty old cellars Coffee and stallions, cream and umbrellas The angels caught up in their own puppet strings Sinister themes in the songs that I sing The orchid of meat in the cuckoo's nest growing Kisses in syllables, sex when it's snowing Forests where nightmares and nightingales sing These are the songs with the sinister themes My first is in eMbers My second in wOman My third in eMotion My fourth is in hUman My fifth is in sufferS and also in longS My whole is in MOMUS and these are my songs
