Romance - Katzenjammer Kabarett

As he’s entering Cherry Bloom’s bedroom

He can see she’s so afraid that she can’t move.

Says he’ll kiss her young blossom lips

She replied instead «I'll go call the police!»

He hates love more than he hates the law,

And laughs at her face, mocks her eyebrows

I am no demon" he says, «and I won’t marry you

But let me rest in your arms and surely pet you

Cherry’s a virgin who wants to know more,

Demon or not he’s the one she’ll adore

From a lily to a rose for him she’ll turn and

Maybe someday for her his heart will burn

Mrs Bloom has now sent all purity away

Loves the thoughts that in her dirty mind lay

In a slow movement, he’s invited bed

To take her body, and lose his head

My mind is whirling with joy and fury

I’m lighting cigarettes to breathe beauty

Each of our kisses smells like envy

But give me once again your lips

Both quite happy now they lay on the floor

She’s really in love he does know the odor

Rest in me, she says, I’m a cool clearing

But if you want no clearing, I can be anything

As he hears her words he can’t stand her anymore,

Makes her green eyes cry more and more and more,

Takes a porcelain pot very close at hand

And hits the pretty red head until the end

Her blood stained my hands, my shirt, and her sheets

But I like her more that way than on her feet

Her brain now slips on the floor like a fish in my fist

My mind is whirling with joy and fury

I’m lighting cigarettes to breathe beauty

Each of our kisses smells like envy

But give me once again your lips

My mind is whirling with joy and fury

I’m lighting cigarettes to breathe beauty

Each of our kisses smells like envy

But give me once again your lips
