Amid the bohemian garden of thieves
In Napoleonic tantrums far from belief
The Corsican mares they all dress down
As tribal anthems of redundancy sound
To walk below bridges of the Rhine
It's near below contempt for to feel this fine
On derelict complacent brigand decks
The podium where emptiness elects
A vision of a long forgotten shell
Atypical this unimagined hell
Reaches out just shy beyond my reach
That blinds my eyes and confounds my speech
Scarcity of reason casting shadows
Festivals of sobriety that glow
And Solomon never faced judgments as this
Deranged, betrayed and addled by a kiss
Amid the bohemian garden of thieves
In Napoleonic tantrums far from belief
The Corsican mares they all dress down
As tribal anthems of redundancy sound
Yet loneliness comes along with my daydreams
Visitational memories of screams
In spite of all waiting far away
You tease like a ghost of yesterday
