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
These are the lyrics in the song booklet:
