[Verse 1]
People will cry
That’s what he said
Reading my eyes
Misunderstanding

No that’s not mine
No aria’s end
Mine was a love song
That’s much more demanding

Something andante in six-eight time
Soft as the summer breeze blows
What i would give if it changed his mind
Could a demon be changed
If this song were arranged
And he heard just one time how it goes

[Chorus]
La la la la la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la la la la

[Verse 2]
Beware of the man
at the gold cabaret
How could such beauty
give way to madness
Following nightly
I loved him by day
I know why killing is such a sweet sadness

Just like the others he’d take her life
Make the bird sing as it died

But as he held her against the knife
At the eye of the storm
He’d forgotten how warm
A woman gets when she’s terrified

[Verse 3]
Someone who pinches the bridge of his nose when he’s stressed
Gets caught up in a moment and forgets to eat
Someone who knows which moves of the samba go best
when you’re marching to the drum of a different beat

Tears the wing off a butterfly because symmetry makes him go mad in the summer heat
Wears a mask and you ask him why he’s afraid of his face and he says he can’t take defeat

Kindred I know you’re there
And i’m asking a favor
Don’t tell me love isn’t fair
You can save her
Sing me a song where the girl survives

[Chorus]
La la la la la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la la la la

[Verse 5]
Would he hear this and laugh
Counting on dotted halves
