I used to hold the biggest balls,
deep inside my castle walls.
Spent my nights with concubines,
wasted, unchaste, drunk on blood red wine.
Being the kind was pretty cool.
I'd have to say that ruling ruled.
I'd be enthroned still
had I not one day fallen ill.
I spit and I coughed. My vision went soft.
My chest got tight.
My court, they surrounded me, they gagged and bounded me,
and threw me out into the night.
Out in the mud I sadly sighed
and waited quietly to die.
There came a noise, boisterous
from down at the cloisters
and I heard the Cardinal cry:
"Draw up the drawbridge. Draw down the blinds.
Everyone inside is getting high tonight.
Waiting for the Plague to move on,
no one's getting sober 'till the liquor's all gone."
The bra in the candelabra, the panties on the paintings,
the Monks have tapped their finest cask,
and the Nuns are into fainting. They sing,
"I hold my breath you hit my chest."
You stumble from the arms of the one what made you, didn't you?
You fumble to the palms of the one what paid you, didn't you?
