Victor’s Mother Juliet
What ails you
What has failed you
And what you never should have tried
I believe in pathologies
You say optimist
Am I so easily defined?

People are as easily led to beauty as deceit
Joy to sorrow
Life as death
Yes
So say all of us here
With Victor’s mother Juliet

Juliet! Juliet!
Juliet! Juliet! Juliet!
Juliet! Juliet!
Juliet! Juliet!
Juliet! Juliet!
Juliet! Juliet! Juliet!
Juliet!
You know it by now

The old guard
The fire guard
And the avant garde, the same tooth
It is vital if not wise, I say, to be dissatisfied in your youth
I’m not going your way
OK?
Sinking ships are not my responsibility yet
I prefer to make my own death bed
So say all of us here
With Victor’s mother Juliet
Juliet! Juliet!
Juliet! Juliet! Juliet!
Juliet! Juliet!
Juliet! Juliet!
Juliet! Juliet!
Juliet! Juliet! Juliet!
Juliet!
You know it by now

Outcasts
Inmates
Self made men and women I know
They’re on their feet
They can talk without these quarrels
Morals
What’s a moral?
Do you know?

What ails you
What has failed you
And what you never should have broke custom and said
So say all of us here
With Victor’s mother Juliet

Juliet! Juliet!
Juliet! Juliet! Juliet!
Juliet! Juliet!
Juliet! Juliet!
Juliet! Juliet!
Juliet! Juliet! Juliet!
Juliet!
You know it by now
