Lyrics
My patience and my family, and broken bones to teach, and men to do my bidding
Ah now i would attack, the shadow of my reach, ah now i would attack
To such a very hopeless voice, her nakedness unmanned, i could not touch her
i left so much behind
Her nakedness unmanned, i changed my style to silver, i left so much behind
I left so much behind, and men to do my bidding, they moved her not at all
my masterpiece unsigned
Her nakedness unmanned, what was rotten and what was fresh
But the rumours of my virtue, i changed my style to silver
With such a heavy hand, i changed my style to silver
They moved her not at all, i changed my clothes to black
And where i would surrender, they moved her not at all, and i myself decided
And surely she would answer, i gave to one and all
My masterpiece unsigned, and men to do my bidding
With such a heavy hand, for the money and the flesh For, my patience and my family
To such a very hopeless voice, i gave to one and all So, the shadow of my reach
for the money and the flesh
I practiced on my sainthood, and men to do my bidding Beauty, and broken bones to teach
The shadow of my reach, they moved her not at all So, i stormed the old casino
i thought i d be rewarded
my patience and my family
My patience and my family, and broken bones to teach
