Steve Taylor - Svengali lyrics

Blue shadows a Venetian parade eyes on a starlet who was yet to be made he had the thin blue lips and a fingerless glove he was a hunter for a prey to put his prints on chorus: Oh, Svengali oh, Svengali wide eyes mesmerize ain't he clever oh, Svengali He set stages from Vienna to Rome he promised flowers and footlights if she'd only leave home when he secured her pa**age on an Aegean ship she didn't know of the power in an evil man's grip (chorus) I knew you when... you saw a scene in the clouds you saw a man in the moon and your mood was enthralling you could weep for a falling star He'll take you deep in his debt he's wanting all he can get will your heart hold the virtue? you've never known that power that the evil men use Gone cried the madman as he slapped her to life and then a cold wind slowly s**ed him into the night so come away to the refuge they can never control they'll try to steal your body but they can't touch your soul
