Texas - Parisian Pierrot lyrics

Fantasy in olden days In varying and different ways Was very much in vogue Columbine and Pantaloon A wistful Pierrot 'neath the moon And Harlequin, a rogue Nowadays Parisians of leisure Wake the echo of an old refrain Each some ragged effigy will treasure For his pleasure Till the shadows of their story live again Chorus x 1 Mournfulness has always been The keynote of the Pierrot scene When pa**ion plays a part Pierrot in a tragic pose Will kiss a faded silver rose With sadness in his heart Some day soon he'll leave his tears behind him Comedy comes laughing down the street Columbine will fly to him Admiring and desiring Laying love and adoration at his feet Parisian Pierrot Society's hero The Lord of a day The Rue de la Paix Is under your sway The world may flatter But what does that matter They'll never shatter Your gloom profound Parisian Pierrot Your spirit's at zero Divinely forlorn With exquisite scorn From sunset to dawn The limbo is calling Your star will be falling As soon as the clock goes round
