Hark to Rouall's white insanity

Clowns in drag concealing vanity

This is hardly Paradise

We're still in search of petty scorn



Images so dead, in mourning

Clap and cheer the man performing

This is hardly Paradise

we're still in search of petty scorn



Couch my disease in chintz-covered kisses

Glazed calico cloth, my costume this is

Come to Pablo Fanque's in Indigo

We'll show you pastel Shades of rhyme



It's okay to laugh in harmony

See the white-faced Auguste's army

Come to Pablo's-Fanque's in Indigo

We'll Show you pastel shades of rhyme



Take a letter Ophelia, write
