The Courtesan Has Sung Lyrics

Lyric discussion by JasonShears 

Cover art for The Courtesan Has Sung lyrics by Sunset Rubdown

These are the lyrics in the song booklet:

The courtesan has sung And Nadia says the crowd's too young And Amber says she hates guitar

Think of the scene where a washed up actor Wipes the make-up off his wife and says "Morticians must've took you for a whore"

The courtesan...

A stranger finds you in your home Says "Brother, your work's got no soul" You say "Brother, bite your tongue, it is my soul That you have won"

The courtesan...

And when she showed him all her paintings he said "Let's do something racy" Took the bottle from his pocket, it was vodka again

The courtesan...

Five actors have arrived They are good looking but they're hungry They start cooking with the trash found on the safety of the stage And you see a crowd is forming But the winged things are swarming Yelling "Stop! It's fucking poison!" But the deaf They hear no warnings

Think of the scene where a washed up actor Wipes the make-up off his wife and says "Morticians must've took you for a whore Oh morticians must've took you for a whore Oh love I'm sorry that they took you for a whore" And I am sorry if you took me for a whore But if you're sorry that you took me for a whore Then I'm sorry that I took you for morticians
