You're sequined in chiffon
On the bed under my arm
Dangling a highball
While I ignore a call
The party can always wait
I'm such an inexpensive date
With Your hedonistic bent
While they get me to the convent
They've sickened the poor
And barricaded the door
All I know is I'm drenched in a bloodbath
This splendor in the grass
The world's spinning too fast
All I see is the lizard tongues around me
As they lick me off the ground
While the world is burning down
They're philistines, they are
And this party, so bizarre
Round up the bourgeoisie
To cut their ankles decadently
Under my eyes
Are shadows in disguise
All I know is I'm drenched in a bloodbath
This splendor in the grass
While the world's spinning too fast
All I see is the lizard tongues around me
As they lick me off the ground
While the world is burning down
