SONG
The World for a whore !
The Sky for a harlot !
All lifeat your door
For a woman of scarlet !
A bitter exchange
A bad bargain to strike ? It
May seem to you strange :
The fact isI like it !
II
You offer me gold,
Place, power and pleasure
To have and to hold
Inexhaustible treasure !
Ill give it and more
In this planet of boredom
For a girl thats a whore,
And is proud of her whoredom !
