His Kiss, the Riot

Lyrics
The devil take this Orpheus And his belladonna kiss Beautiful, poisonous, lovely, deadly Dangerous this jack of hearts With his kiss, the riot starts All my children came here poor Clamoring for bed and board Now, what do they clamor for? Freedom Freedom Have I made myself their lord Just to fall upon the sword Of some pauper's minor chord? Who will lead them? Who lays all our best-laid plans? Who makes work for idle hands? Only one thing to be done Let them go but let there be some term to be agreed upon Some condition Orpheus the undersigned shall not turn to look behind She's out of sight and he's out of his mind Every coward seems courageous in the safety of a crowd Bravery can be contagious when the band is playing loud Nothing makes a man so bold As a woman's smile and a hand to hold But all alone his blood runs thin And doubt comes- doubt comes in
