Pet Shop Boys - Casanova in Hell lyrics

The girl's perfection Inspires affection It's queer That here He can't cast his spell In her direction Somewhere near One senses fear Casanova in Hell The girl is naked The boy is naked He hides Inside A secret chamber There to gape Through a velvet drape And dream of rape Casanova in Hell Her sharp suggestion He couldn't get an erection Came as a shock He finds himself A laughing-stock His ageing fate To contemplate Casanova in Hell Back in the library His revenge is his story What he will write Will recall the bite Of his wit And legendary appetite The sybarite Casanova is well For Casanova has the last laugh Creates the myth and vindication Of his s**ual vocation Makes the definitive collection His lives and lovers and above all His erection Will live in history
