I came so far for beauty
I left so much behind
My patience and my family
My masterpiece unsigned
I thought I'd be rewarded
For such a lonely choice
And surely she would answer
To such a very hopeless voice
I practiced all my sainthood
I gave to one and all
But the rumours of my virtue,
They moved her not at all
I changed my style to silver
I changed my clothes to black
And where I would surrender,
I would attack
I stormed the old casino
For the money and the flesh
And I myself decidedWhat was rotten and what was fresh
And men to do my bidding
And broken bones to teach
The value of my pardon
And the shadows of my reach
But oh, I could not touch her
With such a heavy hand
Her star beyond my order
Her nakedness unmanned
